HARRY BAUER
FARBRAUSCH & STRUKTUR
It is the light that penetrates the dark interior through the Gothic church windows, the colours refracted by the sun's rays. Pure fascination. This spectrum of colours has engraved itself in me. Letting colours explode. Watching colours as they make their way when obstacles such as canvas or wood or structures block their random flow, gathering and mutating into a conglomerate from which there is no escape. Formlessness and spontaneity are what influence me. The subconscious prevails: Informel, Tachism, Action Painting, Art Brut and Lyrical Abstraction are the pioneers and companions of my painting, and Antoni Tàpies, Jean Fautrier, Jean Dubuffet, Jackson Pollock, K. O. Götz, Otto Greis, Hans Hartung and Emil Schumacher are my inspiration.
ART ROOMS
AND
THINGS TO SEE
Welcome to my studio and my gallery: I would like to invite you to immerse yourself in my world of colors and emotions.


"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."

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.
