Juergen Kadow

Living near Frankfurt/Main (Germany). Paintings are shown in exhibitions in galleries and on art fairs in Europe, Japan and the USA. They are integrated in public collections. The main focus of Juergen Kadows work is experimenting with colour. Already during his education at the university, he was very much interested in the chromatics by Goethe and Rudolf Steiner. He does not want to use colour only to reproduce objects. For Juergen Kadow, colour has an autonomous character claiming its own space. Juergen Kadow uses a special kind of oil colour which enables him to paint with deep transparency. He constructs an increasing life with colour nuances and arranges them in monochrome quietness. You can find soft shapes with a poetic implicitness. His paintings give the observer the possibility to enter a new world full of secrets. This cannot be found in our every day rational and explicative world. Juergen Kadow describes his work as follows: "I dont want to disclose secrets, but create new ones". His paintings convey an atmosphere of mystic silence and are very impressive because of their gracefulness and aesthetic.
