Horst Gläsker

Horst Gläsker is a German universal artist.

Gläsker studied first as a designer, then at the Düsseldorf Academy with Gerhard Richter and K. Götz. Glesker has played a decisive role in shaping the art world of Germany and especially Düsseldorf since the 1980s. His work is a symbiosis of music, dance, theater, drawing, painting, sculpture, installation and architecture. This artist blurs the boundaries of art and works across media and disciplines.

Gläsker combines his installations with architecture, for example, like his works in public spaces in Frankfurt, Oberhausen and Erfurt. In another direction of his work, the artist combines various paintings with photography and creates photographic paintings. In this process he also collaborates with renowned photographers.

Horst Gläsker has worked as a professor at the Kunstakademie Münster, the Braunschweig University of the Arts and the Kassel Art College. Since 2006 Glesker lives in Düsseldorf and is a member of the Association of German Artists.
