Hans Scheuerecker celebrates a great reunion with the collection in Cottbus
The Brandenburg State Museum of Modern Art honors Hans Scheuerecker on his 75th birthday with an exhibition that focuses on one of the most distinctive artistic personalities in the Cottbus scene. Under the title All the best, dear Hans, the BLMK brings together important works from its own collection and complements them with loans from private collections. This creates a concentrated art experience between painting, graphics, and biographical memory.
An artist from Cottbus who has shaped the region
Born in 1951, Hans Scheuerecker is a painter and graphic artist who has been closely connected with Cottbus for decades. His artistic development reflects the tensions between free gesture, figurative condensation, and personal imagery. At BLMK, this work now meets a place that, with its collection and its program, stands like hardly any other for modern art from Brandenburg.
Between color, figure, and expression
The exhibition opens a consideration of works, where expressive painting, concentrated portraits, and the energy of drawing encounter each other. Scheuerecker's works often unfold their effect from an immediate, almost physical presence: hard contours, dense color fields, and an imagery that connects emotion and attitude. Particularly in the exhibition atmosphere of the Diesel Power Plant, these works resonate in a special way.
The Diesel Power Plant as a resonance space
The exhibition venue itself enhances the aesthetic experience. The former power plant, with its industrial architecture, clear spatial axes, and museum-like repurposing, provides a convincing framework for contemporary and modern art. The combination of brick, light, and openness gives the presentation an open yet concentrated atmosphere.
Art-historical context and cultural education
BLMK has one of the large collections of modern art in the region with over 45,000 works and regularly connects exhibitions with art educational formats. This creates not only a retrospective on Hans Scheuerecker's work for visitors but also access to questions about East German art history, imagery, and artistic autonomy. Those who visit the exhibition will experience a precisely curated interplay of collection, space, and art historical context.
Visit with added value
The presentation invites one to see Scheuerecker's work anew: as a living part of Cottbus' art history and as an independent position within modern painting. Anyone interested in expressive imagery, regional art history, and museum collection culture should not miss this exhibition. A visit to the Diesel Power Plant promises an intense, visually strong, and informative art moment on site.
