Albert Oehlen Biography

Albert Oehlen is one of the most popular and richest Artist who was born on September 17, 1954 in Krefeld, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

Albert Oehlen (born 17 September 1954) is a contemporary German artist. Oehlen lives and works in Bühler and Segovia.

Influenced by other German painters such as Georg Baselitz, Sigmar Polke and Gerhard Richter, Oehlen focuses on the process of painting itself. During the 1980s he began combining abstract and figurative elements of painting in his works, as part of a reaction to the prevailing Neo-Expressionist aesthetic of the time. In the following years, he worked within self-imposed, often absurd, parameters. He used only gray tones for his “Grey” paintings and limited himself to red, yellow, and blue for another series of what he calls “bad” paintings that included his infamous 1986 portrait of Adolf Hitler. In his paintings of the late 1990s, each piece consists of smears and lines of paint Oehlen brushed and sprayed over collaged imagery that had been transferred to canvas by the type of gigantic inkjet printers used to manufacture billboards.

In 2013 ArtDaily described Oehlen as “one of the most influential, but also one of the most controversial of contemporary painters”. His paintings are also frequently compared with David Salle’s. However his work has not been met with universal approval. Philippe Dagen, writing in Le Monde about Oehlen’s 2011 exhibition in Nîmes, concluded that he was “of only limited importance. With about 30 canvases he reveals his system with absolute, but unfortunately appalling, clarity.” His paintings were devoid of “any form of expression or psychic density”. His 2007 painting, Loa, is now part of the UK’s Tate Collection.
