oil on canvas
paintings by
Gunter Hampel
There is no category or school, he can be thrown in. He developed his own technic and way of using the colors.
The longer you look at his works,the more they unfold into scenes of nature and people, landscapes and activities of every day and dream life. He has absorbed the achievements of the influences he names: REMBRANDT,
HYRONIMUS BOSCH,
Vincent van GOGH,
Franz Marck,Max Ernst,
Klee,Picasso,Chagall and delivers a sensitive eye-experience, which invites the onlooker to participate.
He has achieved something which is very rare : Though he has painted a very definite scene, it is possible, that everyone sees a different picture, who looks at them, depending on his or her life-experience.
The art-world welcomes this fresh view of our own time.
"Hampel's paintings are windows to the INSIDE" Jeanne Lee
