Günther Förg was a German painter, graphic designer, sculptor and photographer. His abstract style was influenced by American abstract painting.
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.
Jan Koblasa was a Czech sculptor, painter, graphic artist, author of philosophical essays and university lecturer. He studied at the Prague Academy of Fine Arts.
Jan Koblasa was a professor of sculpture at the Mufeus Art Academy in Kiel from 1969 to 1997. His lessons included traditional plastic forms of expression, such as portraits, figures and nudes, but he also gave his students great freedom for further artistic activity.
From 2002 to 2005, Koblasa taught as professor emeritus of sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague.
