Burkhard Held

Burkhard Held is German painter living and working in Berlin, Germany. His art is based on figuration dissolving into abstraction. In 1993 he became professor at the Berlin University of the Arts and later served as a professor at the China Academy of Art in Hangzhou, PRC. Burkhard Held is a figurative painter, who dissolves his motifs – landscapes, portraits, flowers – into color fields with a strong tendency towards autonomy. His strongly colored all-over images reinterpret things as abstract and then lead the back into figuration. In 2009 Held started to dedicate himself to the subject of flowers: blossoms become compositions with a landscape character, and are distributed in equally strong colors across the canvas.
