Prof. Klaus Nerlich
Nothing is so far away from nature and people as a black pencil. Similar to the abstraction of photographic black and white prints, the graphic line elevates, restates what is seen. Therefore, the line drawing becomes the direct implementation of his feelings and its purest expression. The works of Prof. Klaus Nerlich generated their own reality besides the objective one, a rather fantastical reality ready for an intimate dialogue. His photos always play with the relationship between sharpness and fuzziness, distance and proximity, as well as illustration and vision, composition and irritation. Prof. Klaus Nerlich studied architecture at the University for Architecture and Construction in Weimar, as well as Graphics at the University for Graphics and Visual Arts in Leipzig. He won the Michel Prize of the HAB for outstanding creative performance. In addition, he is the president of the painting and drawing school in Weimar, as well as the chairman of the “Verband Bildender Künstler Thüringen e.V.”. Prof. Klaus Nerlich organized numerous exhibitions and art in public spaces in Germany, Krakow, New York, Siena, Stockholm, etc.
