Art has been part of Daniel Hilgert’s life since childhood – a constant companion taking on different forms.
The founding of his own company and the birth of his daughter in 2014 marked a new development in his artistic approach, but his passion is as strong as ever.
"I paint for people,
not for museums"
In this exhibition Daniel Hilgert reinterprets a traditional artistic technique while reflecting on society's current mood. This exhibition was inspired by the situation of uncertainty that shaped the year 2020...
A painting on my wall. Expressing emotions. An idea made reality. That touches, stirs, pulls me in. Or pushes me away. That does something to me and won’t let me go.
A painting on my wall. My eyes interpret it anew. I decide what I see. What I want to see. I am no longer a passive viewer – I create.
A painting on my wall. And on yours. And yours. Created together, each has found its place. Spatially separated but always connected.
Discovering boundaries and stepping beyond them. Your limits. Artistic limits. No specific technique, no sketches, no rules. Just start. Enjoy the moment. Follow your instinct.
Feel yourself. Just let it happen. Surprise yourself. Have courage. Just leave out anything that really was unnecessary. Take an old idea and make it new. Taste the thrill of the unfamiliar. Impatient. Full of expectation. Driven. Fulfilled. Fail. Get up. Keep going.
Out of courage. Out of passion. Because you have to.
The works in the series "ab und zu Neigung" were created in the framework of the HOOK fashion show and shaped the ambience in the stables of the former copper forge. The paintings show the human body when fashion is taken away...
