Tano Festa was an Italian painter, graphic artist and photographer.
Andreas Schmitten is a German painter and sculptor living and working between Düsseldorf and Neuss, Germany.
The artist situates his interdisciplinary and diverse work between drawing, sculpture and installation, using attention-grabbing techniques from religion, theater and commodities. He is interested in issues related to the human being and its history. Andreas Schmitten is known for his extensive and highly complex installations in which figures, objects and interiors are used to create fantastic, surreal visual worlds. Lacquered surfaces, pale colors, and mannered, elegant forms characterize his perfectly executed works, which often transform rooms into unreal and fairytale-like settings.
Schmitten's work can currently be seen in the Waldfrieden Sculpture Park in Wuppertal and the Villa Ludwig in Aachen. He has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions.
