Matthias Oppermann

Born 1956 in Gießen. Life and work in Hamburg/Germany. MAIN FOCUS painting of landscape and „Spaziergänger“ (stollers). I draw my artistic inspiration from the sketching and drawing in nature. On mountain tours usually in Switzerland I record the impressions of the landscape, that I then further processed in the studio. In various artistic experiments I investigate the PERCEPTION OF LANDSCAPE. My techniques are photography, video, drawing and mainly painting. ✸
