Middendorf Helmut

Helmut Middendorf is a contemporary German painter. Born in Dinklage, 1953. Lives and works in Athens and Berlin. His large-scale, gestural paintings are brilliantly-colored and representational, populated by images of nightlife, sexuality, and emotion. “The use of color in painting doesn’t mean anything else than to entertain,” the artist has said. He notably spent time in New York after receiving a grant from the German Academic Exchange Service in 1980.
