biography

childhood and education

Stefan Szczesny was born in Munich as the son of the dramaturge Martha Meuffels and the philosopher and writer Gerhard Szczesny . In his youth, Szczesny turned away from the rather analytical and sober expression of his parents' household in order to turn first to music and then to painting, which always seemed to him to be a more direct means of communication. In his plan to become an artist he was supported not least by the philosopher Ludwig Marcuse , a friend of his father's.

After elementary school and high school, he attended a private school for fine and applied arts in Munich from 1967 to 1969 before starting his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich and studying art history and philosophy at the University of Munich. During his studies, Stefan Szczesny worked as an archaeological draftsman at the university and as a freelance art critic for the Münchner Abendzeitung .

Beginnings

Under the influence of his teacher Günther Fruhtrunk , Szczesny initially tended towards abstract painting. In particular, Szczesny was occupied at this time with the work of Piet Mondrian , Barnett Newman and Ad Reinhardt . A stay in Paris on a DAAD scholarship in 1975/76 and, above all, the examination of the work of Auguste Delacroix there represented a turning point, which meant Szczesny's gradual return to figurative painting. This development was later (1980) reinforced by a guest stay at the Villa Romana in Florence, where Szczesny dealt intensively with the Italian Renaissance.

For Szczesny, the return to figurative painting meant above all the implementation of an art that “seeks connection to life”. In 1985, Szczesny said: “It makes a difference whether you think of a sphere, cone and cylinder or a beautiful woman when you paint. There are just big differences. And I consider the source material, the objective association, whether it is a landscape or a person, to be very important as an additional element so as not to suffocate in formalism. "

In 1974 he married Mechthild Moldenhauer. During his stay in Paris as a DAAD scholar, his first son David was born in 1975. In 1979 daughter Sarah was born.

1980s: Exhibition Rundschau Deutschland / Neue Wilde

In 1981 Szczesny moved to Cologne and organized the exhibition Rundschau Deutschland with the Danish artist Troels Wörsel , which was shown first in Munich and later in Cologne as part of the supporting program of Western Art curated by Kasper König . Works by a young generation of figurative painters were exhibited, who were later referred to as "Neue Wilde" and who practiced a particularly impulsive style. Through his publications and group exhibitions, Szczesny became a protagonist of the new painting, which formed into an international movement under the names "New Image Painting", "figuration libre", "Neoexpressionism". The book “Hunger nach Bilder” by Wolfgang Max Faust and Gerd de Vries, published in the same year, took account of this renewed interest in the new figurative art.

In 1982/83 he was a scholarship holder of the German Academy Rome Villa Massimo , where he dealt in detail with Roman antiquity, which was reflected in a series of "Roman Pictures" and in 1984 an exhibition of five large-format canvas works inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses in the Glyptothek in Munich.

From 1984 to 1988, Szczesny was the editor of the journal Painting. Painting. Peinture . In 1988 the State Museum in Bonn showed Szczesny's first retrospective work show under the direction of Klaus Honnef . In 1989 he published the book "Painters on Painting" as editor, in which (in essay and conversation form) statements by various contemporary figurative painters on their painting practice are collected.

Stefan Szczesny was a member of the German Association of Artists , in whose annual exhibitions he took part between 1980 and 1985.

1990s: Caribbean, New York and southern France, the “Szczesny Factory” and first architectural projects

After various formative stays in the Mediterranean region in the 1980s, Szczesny first traveled to the Caribbean in 1990, which then emerged as another important point of reference for his work. a. shows in picture series like the "Jamaica" or "Mustique" paintings. Important works were also created on the island of St. Lucia during these years.

In 1991 and 1992, Szczesny devoted himself increasingly to the theater. After taking the first steps in this direction in the 80s (he had already created sets for a “Faust” production in Munich), he was now responsible for the overall artistic design for the production of the opera “Dunkles Haus” by Robert HP Platz at the Bavarian State Opera the artistic equipment for a production of Schiller's “ Kabale und Liebe ” directed by Gert Pfafferodt.

Stefan Szczesny in his New York studio, 1994

In 1994 the artist moved into a studio in New York , where he met his second wife Eva Klein and spent most of the year until 2001. The Mediterranean area remained a constant reference point for Szczesny even in these years. After spending some time in Sicily with Elvira Bach in 1993 to participate in the Fiunara d'Arte art project, he spent most of the summer months in Ramatuelle in the second half of the 90s , where he produced numerous works en plein air created.

The experience of the New York art scene prompted him to found the "Szczesny Factory" in 1996, to which his own publishing house is also affiliated. Originally founded in Cologne, the "Szczesny Factory" is now in Berlin . The "Factory" is a limited liability company that enables the artist to implement larger art projects in collaboration with a wide variety of companies.

During these years, Szczesny became more and more involved with architectural projects. As early as 1985 Szczesny had noted: “The arrangement of pictures in today's modern museums cannot be everything. Painting and architecture have to become one again. ”He was modeled on the great artists of the Renaissance, who not only worked as painters and sculptors, but also as architects. A first project of this kind was the implementation of a large ceiling painting in the Lindencorso in Berlin. From 1998 the artistic design of the Kempinski Hotel Bahía in Estepona followed .

After several stays on the Caribbean island of Mustique , he married Eva Klein there in 1999. With her he has two sons, Felix (born 1997) and Anton (born 2000).

2000: World Exhibition in Hanover

In 2000, on behalf of WWF , Szczesny designed a “world map of life” consisting of large-format ceramic murals for the World Exhibition Expo 2000 in Hanover. Thematically dealing with the WWF “Global 200” list of ecoregions to be protected, the project comprised twelve ceramic murals with dimensions of 330 × 830 cm each, which framed the WWF pavilion like Spanish walls. Today the plant in Mettlach / Saarland can be seen in the park at the headquarters of Villeroy & Boch .

From 2001: living and working in Saint-Tropez

In 2001 Szczesny moved with his family to Saint-Tropez , where he has lived ever since. After almost a year of working in Seville in 2001/2, a first film about the life and work of Szczesny (“Szczesny - The film”) by director Curt Faudon was premiered at the Cannes Film Festival.

Zeppelin of the Mainau project in 2007

He continued his work on architectural projects during these years, for example in the context of the artistic design of large building projects in southern France. Related to this activity was a large art project, which the artist implemented after two years of preparatory work in 2007 and which, under the title “A dream of earthly paradise”, included the design of the island of Mainau into a total work of art. In addition to ceramics, sculptures and flower arrangements laid out as pictures, this total work of art also included a Zeppelin NT airship , which had been pasted with two female nudes according to Szczesny's specifications.

The artistic focus in these years was the work on large steel sculptures, the so-called “shadow sculptures”, and in the years 2008 to 2013 the work on a series of “golden pictures”, which included a series of large-format canvas works as an homage to Lucas Cranach the Elder was conceived and shown in an exhibition at Sigmaringen Castle in the same year, came to a preliminary conclusion. This series also represented a first return to large-format painting, which was also made possible by a spacious studio in Saint-Tropez, which was completed in 2011.

2014: Exhibition in the Papal Palace in Avignon

In 2014, Szczesny's work will be shown in a retrospective in the Papal Palace in Avignon. This exhibition was curated by Frédéric Ballester, director of the Center d'art La Malsmaison in Cannes . Szczesny emphasized several times that this had fulfilled a wish that he had had there since the Picasso exhibitions in the 1970s. For this retrospective, Szczesny u. a. his largest sculpture to date, an approx. 6.5 m high construction made of stainless steel, which represents a tree of life .

2017: Sculpture exhibition at the Citadelle of Saint-Tropez

At the invitation of the city of Saint-Tropez, a large sculpture exhibition for the retrospective 2005-2017 was shown at the Citadelle of Saint-Tropez.

2019: Szczesny aux Baux-de-Provence

In the medieval village of Les Baux-de-Provence, Szczesny presented approx. 30 of his monumental "shadow sculptures", as well as glass sculptures from Murano, ceramics and portraits.

Szczesny Jaguar Art Project

Szczesny has been a brand ambassador for the car manufacturer Jaguar since 2011 . This collaboration led to several joint art projects, including a traveling exhibition by Szczesny's “Shadow Sculptures ” in St. Moritz , on Sylt and in Saint-Tropez in 2011 and an exhibition of pictures, ceramics and sculptures in the Frankfurt Palmengarten in 2012.
