Michael Stalherm, 2007

Michael Stalherm (born October 18, 1948 in Recklinghausen ) is a German artist . He lives and works in Berlin .

Live and act

Michael Stalherm is the youngest son of the senior physician Carl Stalherm and Adelheid Stalherm, b. Knappertsbusch. As a one year old, he developed scarlet fever . His father became infected and died shortly afterwards. The single mother of five children learned the tailoring trade and opened a fashion shop with an attached studio in 1955. Stalherm received violin lessons as a child and attended the Petrinum Recklinghausen grammar school , then the St. Kaspar grammar school in Bad Driburg.

From 1971 to 1974 studied Stalherm at the College of Design in Basel . After the preliminary course he attended the painting class and then took art history at the university there. The Kunstmuseum Basel bought one of the first pictures . As early as 1971, the museum director Thomas Grochowiak became aware of the then student. This was followed by several group exhibitions at Wolfsburg Castle , the Bochum Art Museum , Stuttgart , Oberhausen Castle and the Recklinghausen Art Gallery .

Stalherm moved to Berlin in 1978 and worked there at the Neuer Berliner Kunstverein . From 1978 to 1980 he lived and worked in Paris . After his return to Berlin, he worked at the Academy of Arts in 1984 for the exhibition in Berlin around 1900 ( Eberhard Roters ), worked for the Renaissance and Schiller Theater and in 1985 as a stage painter at the Free Volksbühne ( Hans Neuenfels ).

One year after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Stalherm bought a plot of land on the Stralau peninsula on the Spree and founded the natural art open-air gallery Garten der Künste there in 1991 . At the same time he created an archive on the history of the former fishing village there. Every year changing exhibitions with nature artists as well as a historical exhibition were shown. The last exhibition took place in 2001, the garden has been closed since 2002. He was the producer and publisher of the Stralauer Anzeiger district newspaper and is critical of Berlin's urban development. In 2006 Stalherm built a studio house designed by him there.

Artistic work

In his first pictures, Stalherm showed scenes from psychiatry. He experimented with living materials like luminous bacteria and termites . In his drawings he deals with basic human phenomena. He designs his own cosmos of signs and shows the creation of signs and drawings through the influences of history, education and the media.

In the 1990s, the subject of natural art was the focus of his work. After 2000 he concentrated on the subject of "sea art" in numerous pictures and drawings. His work has been postponed since 2009. He now works almost exclusively with pencil. Objective, precise drawings reflect unreal inventions of images, a game with artistic form with maximum spread of the gray scale.
