HARRY BAUER

PAINTING & MORE

It is the light that penetrates through the Gothic church windows into the dark interior, the colors refracted by the sun's rays. Pure fascination. This spectrum full of colors has engraved itself in me. Letting colors explode. Watching colors make their way, when obstacles such as canvas or wood or structures block their random flow, they gather and mutate into a conglomerate from which there is no way out. Formlessness and spontaneity are what influence me. The subconscious prevails: Informel, Tachism, Action Painting, Art brut and Lyrical Abstraction are the precursors and companions of my painting, and Antoni Tàpies, Yves Peyré Fautrier, Jean Dubuffet, Jackson Pollock, K. O. Götz, Otto Greis, Hans Hartung, Emil Schumacher are my inspiration.

"When I visited Harry Bauer's house, which is also a gallery, a museum of himself, I was initially completely surprised by this blaze of color. I was faced with paintings that gave me the impression that a flower meadow had exploded. Showers of flowers in all directions, splinters of color raining down on the eye. The gestural sweep of the palette knife creates dynamism. Interspersed yellow gives the picture a hopeful appearance."

STATEMENTS
"Harry Bauer's world is colour, expressive, powerful. That's how I've known him since he joined the Deggendorf artists' group in 1999, which unfortunately disbanded in 2016. Even back then, his paintings were unmistakable and eye-catching. When you stand in front of one of these particularly intense, almost three-dimensional paintings, you can almost feel a crackling underneath the layers of colour. Is a volcano raging here, about to erupt and hurl its fiery particles into the world of colour?"

Erika Einhellinger, sculptor, long-standing chairwoman of the DKG, 2024
STATEMENTS
"I quickly realised that the creative artist Harry Bauer is someone who constantly reinvents himself, who doesn't stand still, who is so full of inner images that he can't help but let them out of himself again and again in new and different ways."

Dr. Stefan Rammer, editor, author, 2023
STATEMENTS
"I see Harry Bauer as an outstanding artist on the regional art scene. In his work, he shows a merciless honesty by renouncing naturalistic art and realism. Instead of reproducing familiar motifs and objects in a painterly manner, Harry Bauer seeks to liberate himself from realism in his works by skilfully playing with colours, contours, integrated objects, reduction and provocation."

Thomas Darcy, painter, chairman of the Deggendorf Art Association, 2023
STATEMENTS
"If you look at works from the various years, it quickly becomes clear that there was and is never a standstill. The works changed again and again, gaining strength, self-confidence and independence."

Dr. Petra Grond, Redakteurin, Autorin, 2012
STATEMENTS
"Alongside watercolour and oil in the early years, it was above all acrylic paints that suited Harry Bauer's painting style. Their strong colourfulness, the possibility of quickly placing colours next to and on top of each other without the first layer losing its character; their willingness to be painted, scratched and blurred. Traditional forms quickly dissolve - and come together to form new, 'informal' colour combinations."

"He has already developed his signature style."

To those who feel within themselves and discover that it is painting that seduces and entices them to communicate, I say: It doesn't matter what substance, material or tool you use to depict what you hear, perceive and represent within yourself. Take a sheet of paper, take apart a cardboard box, take packaging material, wine skins, gauze, pieces of wood, bark, gravel, bitumen, nails, coal, pastes, leather straps, cloth, whatever you can get your hands on. Make pictures out of them and use them to say what you feel and what you want to say: to yourself and to the world. Explosions of color and streams of color are added and you are exhausted, but satisfied because you have created something that is unique.
