Life

Schubert spent his childhood in the city ​​of Wehlen . During the Second World War he began an administration apprenticeship at the Wehlener Rathaus and decided to study painting through a chance acquaintance with Richard Müller . He began his studies at the Dresden Academy of Arts in the class of the landscape and portrait painter Wilhelm Rudolf . In 1949 Schubert left Dresden and contacted Willi Baumeister , who invited him to the academy in Stuttgart . This was followed by a one-year study visit with Fernand Léger in Paris . He finished his studies with Hans Uhlmann at the University of the Arts in Berlin . Since 1957, Peter Schubert has been working as a freelance artist based in Berlin. Thanks to a grant from the German government, he worked temporarily at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris in 1969 . Schubert made his visual work known to the public through solo exhibitions.

With the painting of the ceiling in the Great Orangery in the Charlottenburg Palace in Berlin , Schubert began working as a ceiling painter in 1977 . Since then he has created 20 ceiling and wall paintings in Germany, Italy and Canada.

As a full member of the German Association of Artists, Peter Schubert took part in a total of ten annual DKB exhibitions between 1964 and 1982.

As a teenager he was particularly interested in the chiaroscuro technique , a technique that he discovered through encountering works of art from the Baroque era. During his studies with Willi Baumeister and Fernand Léger, he further developed the technology. It became one of the main characteristics of his panel paintings . Schubert paints abstract pictures, even if he incorporates motifs that are on the margins of figurative painting in his art. The multitude of forms is intended to suggest familiar things, but not to represent them. The light is the strongest factor in the composition of the picture; Light and shadow create the basis of his pictures.

Schubert's art, from subtle watercolors and paintings to ceiling paintings covering several hundred square meters, shows its own visual language, which at times is reminiscent of the compositions of the art of the 17th century.
