Reinhard Stammer
The bold works of Reinhard Stammer seems to form a direct stream from his subconscious mind to the canvas surface. The viewer of his paintings must quietly decode a multitude of symbols, picture signs, thoughts, feelings, memories.
My first exhibition took place in 1967 in the Orangery in Glücksburg. She was not the impetus for an artistic career.
For this I live with all its ups and downs, with its light and dark sides. I live my life passionately and sometimes excessively.
A painted flower is not a flower, just as a painted human cannot be human. It’s color on a background. Nothing more and the colors and shapes evoke memories in the viewer. That’s all well and good. Anyway, it wasn’t enough for me.
In 30 years, not very many were created – but some particularly beautiful and interesting pictures. I wrote more poems and the chronicle was also written at this time.
I realized how I could use painting to compensate for the severe blows of fate that hit me at the age of 52, and in retrospect I claim that it saved my life.
So I’m grateful for this gift, which didn’t make me a Dürer or Picasso, but enabled me to give some of my pictures something of myself to take with them.
