A birthday greeting to a defining painter from Cottbus
On the occasion of Hans Scheuerecker's 75th birthday, the Brandenburg State Museum of Modern Art at the Diesel Power Plant Cottbus is dedicating an exhibition to the artist featuring significant works from its own collection and from private collections. The exhibition takes you deep into a body of work that has been alive for decades, encompassing painting, graphics, poster art, and sculpture, and has sustainably shaped the art scene of the city.
A work between gesture, color, and existential tension
Hans Scheuerecker is regarded as one of the most distinctive voices in Cottbus art. His visual language combines expressive strokes, powerful lines, and often an immediate bodily painting style. The exhibition makes this development visible: from early, searching works to later pieces where concentration, compression, and emotional intensity meet.
A collection that tells artistic continuities
The BLMK has systematically built its inventory since the 1970s. This exactly gives weight to the presentation: not only individual highlights but also breaks, repetitions, and developments become legible. Thus, a historically precise view of a body of work that remains closely connected to East German modernity and regional art history emerges.
The place as part of the art experience
The Diesel Power Plant itself is a strong resonance space for modern art. The industrial architecture, the spacious exhibition areas, and the clear light create an atmosphere in which color, line, and material have a particularly intense effect. Anyone who engages in viewing works here doesn't just experience an exhibition, but an aesthetic experience with spatial impact and historical depth.
Guidance, education, and museum classification
The BLMK stands for well-founded art mediation and a demanding mediation program. The exhibition fits into museum work that combines collection, research, and cultural education. For art enthusiasts, this offers a visit that brings together biographical aspects, art historical contexts, and the unique handwriting of Scheuerecker.
Conclusion: This exhibition invites you to rediscover Hans Scheuerecker as a defining artistic personality. Those interested in painting, graphics, and the art history of Cottbus will find here an impressive reason to visit the Diesel Power Plant. Definitely see it live and experience the immediate effect of the works in space.
