Gertraud Platschek

Munich in Bavaria/Germany is my home, the city itself and the modern art and the contemporary artits surrounding me here. I could benefit from my uncle Hans Platschek, a famous represantative of informalism. My teachers were Hermann Nitsch, Pope of Viennese ’Aktionism’ and Fritz König, creator of the memorial to the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks, and Günther Behnisch, architect of the Olympia park, Munich.
While I am an architect I also live in the world of colours. I like to paint on large formats. Painting that means to me throwing, smearing, scratching – with the aim to achieve the impossible.
