Born in Wesel/Germany in 1960, Dieter Nuhr is one of Germany's most successful satirists, but his work as a visual artist has lasted even longer. From 1981 to 1987 he studied art at the University of Essen, the former Folkwang School. Today, his paintings deal with the themes of strangeness and familiarity, distance and proximity. While he still painted with oils in the 1990s and later switched to photography, today he combines painterly and photographic elements on a tablet. In doing so, he programmes digital brushes that overlay the original photography, mostly landscape or architectural shots, in several layers of colour.


In Nuhr's works, the photographed is reconstructed in a painterly process. In the end, painterly-looking compositions emerge that are more like paintings. The artist finds the motifs on his travels around the world. He has already been to almost a hundred countries.

Der 1960 in Wesel/Deutschland geborene Künstler Dieter Nuhr zählt zu den erfolgreichsten Satirikern Deutschlands, doch seine Arbeit als bildender Künstler währt noch länger. Von 1981 bis 1987 studierte er Kunst an der Universität Essen, der ehemaligen Folkwangschule. Heute beschäftigt er sich in seinen Gemälden mit den Themen Fremde und Vertrautheit, Ferne und Nähe. Während er in den 1990er-Jahren noch mit Ölfarben malte und später zur Fotografie wechselte, fügt er heute malerische und fotografische Elemente auf einem Tablet zusammen. Dabei programmiert er digitale Pinsel, die in mehreren Farbschichten die ursprüngliche Fotografie, meistens Landschafts- oder Architekturaufnahmen, überlagern.


Das Fotografierte wird in Nuhrs Werken in einem malerischen Prozess neu konstruiert. Am Ende entstehen malerisch wirkende Kompositionen, die eher Gemälden ähneln. Die Motive findet der Künstler auf seinen Reisen durch die Welt. In fast hundert Ländern ist er schon gewesen.

Circondato di Lontano in the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana

On display are partly large-format pictures with motifs from Ethiopia, Brazil, India, Mexico, Nepal, Peru as well as motifs from Germany. The Ruhr region, where Nuhr was born and grew up, plays a major role. The industrial architecture typical of this region is reflected in his pictorial compositions.


For the first time, sketches created especially for the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana will also be on display, taking up themes such as Paolo Veronese's famous murals from the Marciana showing Plato and Aristotle.

Ausgestellt werden teils großformatige Bilder mit Motiven aus Äthiopien, Brasilien, Indien, Mexiko, Nepal, Peru sowie Motive aus Deutschland. Dabei spielt das Ruhrgebiet, wo Nuhr geboren und aufgewachsen ist, eine große Rolle. Hier findet sich die für diese Region typische Industriearchitektur in seinen Bildkompositionen wieder.


Erstmals werden auch Skizzen ausgestellt, die eigens für die Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana geschaffen wurden und Themen aufgreifen wie Paolo Veroneses berühmte Wandbilder aus der Marciana, die Platon und Aristoteles zeigen.
