Susanne Höfler

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Susanne Höfler (* 1956 in Freiburg im Breisgau ) is a German painter, draftsman and graphic artist.

Life and work

Höfler completed a degree in graphics at the Berlin University of the Arts . She is a freelance artist who attaches great importance to craftsmanship details: She optimizes the proportions as early as the design phase and invests a lot of time in hatching the almost finished picture. She demonstrates her professionalism even with her sketches that seem to be thrown away quickly and the artist portraits drawn in pencil.

Frequently recurring motifs are people, water and fantastically realistic fish. Her portraits are enlivened by abstractions, occasionally also addressing the unsightly, such as illness, age and injuries. As the wife of the Tübingen jazz musician Dizzy Krisch , her artistic work, like her sister, the bassist Karoline Höfler , deals intensively with jazz, its musicians and their instruments. For example, she designs posters and record covers or depicts music in largely abstract images. In her masterpiece Doppelgelbton from 2009, she shows two trumpets playing at the same time, the yellow tones of the mirror-like brass and the round shapes visualizing the sound of the trumpet.

As commissioned painting, she creates portraits as well as ceiling and wall pictures: for example, in 2005 her portrait of Professor Evamarie Sander was unveiled in the Tübingen Professorengalerie , in which mostly male portraits usually hang. It shows the biologist surrounded by objects from her professional life: with her left hand she is leaning on a model of the tobacco mosaic virus under which the writings of Frederick Bawden , Pliny the Elder and Aristotle lie. The phytopathologist holds a tobacco leaf infected by a virus in her right hand .

Her murals often have oversized formats, for example the picture Instruments of Jazz , which adorns the entire wall of the Tübingen Jazzkeller. Your murals with customer-specific themes can also be found in stairwells, hairdressing salons or private rooms. As a drawing teacher, Susanne Höfler also offers courses in nude and portrait painting and designs websites for musicians and artists.
