Benedikt Hipp

Benedikt Hipp is a German painter and sculptor who lives and works in Munich and Amsterdam.

Hipp studied at the academies of fine arts in Nuremberg, Munich and Bologna. Even during his studies he attracted attention with his characteristic works. His paintings and panels, some of them large format, are created in the technique of the old masters - oil paints on wooden panels and varnished.

For example, one of Hipp's latest works, the series "Ocean Bark" embodies an artistic confrontation with the last unexplored corner of our earth - the depths of the sea. These works are created as a result of a rather complex technological process and create a fantastic impression reminiscent of surrealism. Architecture, animals and people are alienated, united and presented in a disturbing, dreamlike way.

Benedikt Hipp is an extremely versatile artist who expresses himself in several genres. He has works on paper, collages and ink drawings, recently focusing on objects and sculpture as well as spatial installations.

In 2021, Hipp was awarded the Rome Prize Fellowship of the Deutsche Akademie Villa Massimo, Germany's most renowned award for artists.
