Hans-Georg Mayer

A firework of colours

Born in 1962 in Haslach i. K. in the Black Forest, Hans-Georg Mayer attended design academies in Freiburg and Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Today the artist lives in Tauberbischofsheim. His range of works goes beyond pure painting, also revealing traces of his studies in styling and interior design as well as numerous further training courses in design.

The artist loves to use strong colours to express himself. In all of his works created by the application of multiple layers of oils, the specific images are reduced to a certain extent, frequently giving rise to a surface accumulation of palette knife effects. These visible patterns are not realistic, but pursue their own poetic path independently of the object. The vivid effect of the colours generates a fascinating ambience through clear spatial lines.

And then there is the colour: the dominant red. Hans-Georg Mayer combines with red and also uses red for rhythmic effect. Red, the strong emotional colour, sometimes limited by lines or emphasised through accents, brings the paintings to life and suggests warmth, joy, strength and energy. Viewing his works is also fun for the inexperienced eye as the firework of colours is not merely reserved for the red paintings - "Mayer portrays poetry”. His works have been very well received both throughout the region and beyond, for example in the Baden-Württemberg representative office in Berlin.

The works in the LAUDA FactoryGallery can be viewed by interested parties during working hours subject to registration.
