Hans Scheuerecker at the Diesel Power Station Cottbus: A birthday greeting as an art experience

With All the best, dear Hans, the Brandenburg State Museum for Modern Art honors the Cottbus artist Hans Scheuerecker on his 75th birthday. The exhibition brings together works from the BLMK collection as well as from private collections and offers a concentrated view of a body of work that has belonged to the art history of the region for decades. The presentation runs from May 30 to August 23, 2026, at the Diesel Power Station Cottbus. ([blmk.de](https://www.blmk.de/))

Painting, graphics and sculpture in vibrant tension

Since 1979, Hans Scheuerecker has been working in Cottbus as a freelance painter, graphic artist, actionist, poet, photographer, and set designer. His visual world is characterized by condensation, signification, and a clear handwriting that allows room for interpretation. The BLMK therefore shows not only individual works but also an artistic attitude that has developed a distinctive language between painting, drawing, poster art, and sculpture.

An exhibition from the heart of the Lusatian art scene

The exhibition is closely tied to the local art scene and makes visible how deeply Scheuerecker's work is rooted in Cottbus. The artist was the first to receive the Art Award of the State of Brandenburg in 1992 and has been represented in numerous solo exhibitions and participations in renowned institutions, including the Kunsthalle Hamburg, the Angermuseum Erfurt, the State Museums in Berlin, the Morsbroich Museum in Leverkusen, and the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro. These stations place his oeuvre far beyond the region. ([de.wikipedia.org](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Scheuerecker?utm_source=openai))

According to official information, the collection of the house includes works from painting, photography, poster art, graphics, and sculpture. ([blmk.de](https://www.blmk.de/))
