Wolfgang Schlüter German painter and jewelry designer * 1942 Rostock † 2019 Ribnitz-Damgarten
Biography
Wolfgang Schlüter was one of the most important North German landscape painters of the GDR. In his metier, the artist, who has always remained close to his homeland of the Baltic Ocean, has found his very own, unmistakable formal and pictorial language. Maonki.art Gallery presents a retrospective of significant painterly works from the 1980s to the present mehr – mainly watercolours and gouaches, “in a mixture of expressive constructions of form and colour, with which he traces motifs from landscapes and vegetal still lifes… with loose brushwork and sparkling intensity of colour… This leads to intoxicating outbursts, a delight in painterly action up to non-objective expression of colour and form, which can give creative impetus to the precision and concentration of jewellery design work.” (Klaus Tiedemann, Catalogue 2012) Wolfgang Schlüter was born in Rostock in 1942. He studied arts and jewellery design at the Academy of Fine Arts Heiligendamm and the Burg Giebichenstein University of Arts and Design Halle. As a lecturer in arts and design, he taught for over ten years at the Academy of Fine Arts Heiligendamm on the Baltic Sea. Until his death in 2019, the artist lived and worked as a painter and jewellery designer in Hirschburg on the Baltic Sea.

The watercolours and gouaches in the second decade of Wolfgang Schlüter’s life find their way to very colourful, expressive forms of expression. Trees formed by the wind, wind dodgers, that grew out of the Baltic landscape were the favourite subject of the important North German painter and jewellery designer.
