Hans Scheuerecker at BLMK: A birthday greeting to the expressive power of painting
With “All the best, dear Hans”, the Brandenburg State Museum for Modern Art dedicates a focused exhibition to the Cottbus artist Hans Scheuerecker, which highlights his oeuvre from the museum's collection and from private collections. The presentation paints a multifaceted picture of an artist whose works have shaped the art scene of Lusatia for decades and whose work, spanning painting, graphics, poster art, and sculpture, has developed a distinctive language.

A view of a diverse oeuvre
The exhibition gathers, according to the event announcement, paintings, graphics, posters, and sculptures that have been progressively added to the BLMK collection since the 1970s. It is precisely this temporal span that makes the exhibition appealing: it not only shows individual works but also a development over almost five decades, where formal radicalism, graphic density, and expressive colorism continually encounter one another.

Hans Scheuerecker between neo-expressionism and independence
Hans Scheuerecker is considered a significant voice in East German art in art historical descriptions, often located in the context of neo-expressive tendencies. His works stand for an intense, subjective visual language in which gesture, sign character, and surface enter into a relationship full of tension. His works and exhibitions have been shown nationally and internationally; his presence in collections and presentations underscores the significance of his contribution to contemporary art and the late GDR.

Exhibition atmosphere in the Diesel Power Plant
The Diesel Power Plant in Cottbus offers a venue where modern art has a particularly immediate impact in its clear, industrial architecture. The BLMK describes the location as accessible via elevators; regular opening hours are Tuesday to Sunday from 11 AM to 7 PM. This creates an art experience that is open to both concentrated artwork contemplation and museum educational approaches. ([blmk.de](https://www.blmk.de/))
Collection, communication, and cultural education
The BLMK sees itself not just as an exhibition venue but also as a place for cultural education. According to official information, the collection includes painting, photography, poster art, graphics, and sculpture; in addition, it offers guided tours and studios for different age groups. In this context, Scheuerecker's work is not shown in isolation but embedded in the museum's collection history and in a broader museum context. ([blmk.de](https://www.blmk.de/))
