— 

“Freedom for me
means playing. It
does not mean to
be in a void and
make crazy moves.
It means to play
with your own rules.” 

Born: 
1954 – Krefeld. 

Lives & works: 
Switzerland. 

The exhibition: 
Presents a new
series of works by
the world-renowned
German painter, 
exploring the formal
possibilities of the
tree motif, which 
first appeared in
Sturmschaden in
1981 and again in
the late 80's. 

"In the new
paintings eccentric
shapes and forms
float untethered
on the open
surface... Oehlen
demonstrates the
consistency of his
approach in setting
narrow parameters
to create stark and
powerful imagery
that highlight his
will for constant
renewal.”
