Gerhardt Isringhaus

Gerhardt Isringhaus who signs his work ISHA (°1948, St. Louis, Mo, United States) My art uses different mediums and subjects, but it is all a meditation in my inner and outer mind which is my personal point of view. It's a diary where I tap into the subconscious mind to find new ideas which lead me to magic creations. All my work is a form of expressionism which moves between abstraction and realism to reveal a heightened emotion. Beauty, humor, and new forms inspire me in this creation.
