Gabor Richter

Gabor Richter is a German-Hungarian painter and sculptor whose work explores history, power, identity and human experience.
His path to art was anything but linear. Trained as a civil engineer and internationally active in airport planning for several decades, he began his serious artistic development comparatively late in life.
This unusual background continues to shape his work. Analytical thinking and careful preparation meet an increasingly free and intuitive process of painting. Historical research, personal experience and observations of contemporary society become the starting points for layered figurative compositions in which past and present often coexist.

Learning without imitating.
Studying with Markus Lüpertz marked the transition from painting as a growing passion to a serious artistic commitment.
From 2013, Gabor Richter studied at the academies in Bad Reichenhall and Kolbermoor, completing four years of study including the master class. At the same time, he attended courses with artists including Bernhard Vogel, Stephan Geisler and Gerhard Almbauer in Germany and Vienna.
Lüpertz did not demand stylistic imitation. His teaching encouraged each artist to develop an individual position. Discussions about the works were open to the group: strengths, weaknesses and unresolved questions were examined collectively. For Gabor Richter, this exchange was as important as any instruction in technique.
The experience left him with an understanding that continues to shape his work today: artistic education is not about adopting the language of another artist. It is about discovering what is necessary in one’s own.
Gabor Richter completed the master class in 2016.
