life and work

Jochims grew up in Lübeck. After graduating from high school in 1955, Jochims began to paint. As an autodidact, he studied Stefan Lochner's immaterial color gradients and their transparent glazes over a reflective chalk base. From 1955 to 1957 and from 1966 to 1968 he studied philosophy , classical archeology and art history at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich and received his doctorate in 1968 with a thesis on Konrad Fiedler . Since 1961 he worked on the conception of chromatic painting, where after a black phase he discovered the fascination of color for himself. From 1967 to 1971 he taught at the Art Academy in Karlsruhe and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. From 1971 to 1997 he was professor for free painting and art theory at the Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main. During his tenure as rector of the Städelschule (1971 to 1985), he brought the artists Thomas Bayrle , Willi Schmidt and Peter Kubelka to the school as teachers.

Jochims has had a large number of solo and group exhibitions at home and abroad; in addition, lectures and lecture series on art-theoretical aspects of the “experience of identity”. Jochims says that this experience of identity can be found in all cultures on earth and manifests itself through the human senses. As a painter, he is particularly interested in the visual aspect of this experience. He tries to discover the underlying - and common - theoretical construct behind it. For him, color is not just color, form is not just any shape, but primarily life. He tries to track down this inherent life through his art.

He lives and works in Maintal near Frankfurt am Main.
