Jochen Pankrath
DEU
It takes a certain amount of courage to present the traditional genres of the portrait or the nude without any apparent manipulation. Although Jochen Pankrath gives his paintings a slight sense of humor, at the same time (thanks in part to this shift towards the humorous) he emphasizes their civil nature. A sense of intimacy and the painter’s personal interest in his model become important aspects of Pankrath’s paintings. This approach is also reflected in the unpretentiously masterful painting style, which becomes an autonomous asset in its own right.
