Peter Schlangenbader

I am a Contemporary German Expressionist,my roots are from the cave-painters to DADA,Art Brut and Punk.The City-Live is my fountain,I am possessed to paint and
when I paint,I`m god and evil together and the canvas is my battlefield.
When I take the brush in my hand I switch out my consciousness,I only feel the way it goes.
Art is visible magic and an inner adventure,inspiration is decisive.I must grow over me and my borders.
A central theme in my art is the head,in it works the brain,everything comes out of it,its the beginning and the end.
The human beeing reels through a perverded wonderland and became his own biggest enemy.
But mankind never gave up its longing to the paradise.

That means not a space in opposite spheres but a state and sense of living.
Love and happiness are the universal gral of beeing and our paintings are messages of blissfullity.
My studio is in the same house,where the world-famous german expressive painter and founder of the " Bridge " artists group Karl Schmidt Rottluff lived and worked in the 1920th.
I continue this way and bring the Berlin Expressionism into the century.
In the last time my painting themes are Cyber Space and Artificial Intelligence, because these things will come over us ...
