The works of Konrad Winter are based on photographs. He collects these while traveling and in his daily environment. Starting from these views of often touristy places, he breaks down the motifs into color surfaces and color impressions. He then translates these into automotive paint on aluminum. Although he works with brush and paint, i.e. "classical" manual painting, the materials used appear smooth and industrial. In contrast, the color flickering and the light impressions of his motifs convey an almost impressionistic impression.

A characteristic of his technique is that the motifs are easier to recognize from a distance than from a close-up view. The closer one approaches a work, the more the image dissolves into amorphous areas of color, reminiscent of a camouflage pattern. Hence this series of works, which he has been working on for 20 years, is called "Camouflaged Landscapes."
Collections: including Société Générale, Frankfurt; Federal Ministry of Art, Science and Research, Vienna; Bavarian Stock Exchange, Munich.

Project #9: Katja Then and Konrad Winter
The DavisKlemmGallery runs a project space at Kirchstraße 4 in Hochheim am Main. A project by Katja Then and Konrad Winter was shown there from February to April 2023. Katja Then's "winter pictures" are based on reworked sleds, which are on display in the project space for this exhibition. They form the starting point for a visual "toboggan ride" through Hochheim. For this, Konrad Winter took dynamic photographs of the old town, from which his manual painting in car paint on aluminum was created.

Konrad Winter: "I can't see a man"
