Ein großer Wurf Painting

Mathias Waske was born on the 27th of March 1944 in Crailsheim/Wrttemberg. He grew up in Frankfurt/Main. From 1962 - 67 he completed his studies at the State's University for Fine Arts in Frankfurt/Main (Prof. Burkhardt, Prof. Schreiter), later he travelled to Florence and Venice. Since 1968 the artist has been living and working between Munich and the South of France.Representative of Modern Realism Mathias Waske has long since established himself as a valued contemporary artist. His originality, humorous ideas and his love of detail have made Mathias Waske one of the most important and recognized representatives of Modern Realism.A multitude of exhibitions and numerous international art prizes have recognized Waskes popular work during his lifetime. His farcical paintings reveal the artist's critical yet playful social views. Each work can be interpreted as a parody of lifes trivialities. His pictures, which are not to be taken too seriously, portray tongue in cheek both the positive and negatives sides of life and display so accurately the spirit of the times in which we now live. Mathias Waske attributes his great success to his ability to swing between phantasy and realism; to invite the spectator to explore and define new limits.Member of ...
