Daniel Mohr: Determinate Negation

A former student of Georg Baselitz at the Berlin University of the Arts, Daniel Mohr (*1976 in Bad Hersfeld) explores the theme of landscape and the relationship humans have with nature. Walking a fine line between the figurative and the abstract, he transforms landscapes and people into vibrant planes of color. The remarkable thing about Mohr s works is the painterly treatment and thus their artistic interpretation. Due to the artist s technique of combining watercolors and oil, the works tend to suggest watercolors. His chromacity, ranging from loose transparency to thick opacity, makes him an utterly unique colorist. With over sixty color illustrations, this publication presents new paintings by Mohr that feature his consistent artistic development, some of which demonstrate his exploration of Francisco de Goya and Paul Klee.
