plant

Michael Binder was active in the Munich art scene from 1970 to 1980 and regularly featured a work in the annual exhibition at the Haus der Kunst . Dealing with essential questions of life was a central theme of his works. Polarities such as light and shadow, color or pallor, good and bad are particularly expressed in the last acrylic paintings. The works of the last two decades are characterized by the hard life in confrontation with the elemental forces of nature. Individual picture titles borrow from famous archetypes, such as the large format 'the hay cart', which brings to mind the triptych by Hieronymus Bosch.
