Bernd Obergassel, born in Dortmund/ Germany 1962, started his career as a self-educated painter in 1993.
From the beginning he has been working with oils to create colorful, abstract and surrealistic figures.
These figures are a bit technical influenced but very emotional, so they depict a lyrical interplay of
biomorphic forms. He named the figures "The ZON's".
Throughout the years, he has been engaging in a variety of artistic activities
like drawing, painting (also other series), making lots of objects (with electronic parts), sculptures
and small installations of conceptual art.
Education:
Apprenticeship as constructor for electrical machinery,
degree in Electrical Engineering (Dipl.-Ing.),
Business Administration Engineer (Dipl.-Wirt.Ing. (FH)).
Both at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Dortmund/ Germany.
Bernd Obergassel says:
„I know, this is not the normal way to
become an artist ;-) - but, engineers are in a similar way
creative like artists.”
