Bernd Zimmer
Bernd Zimmer (born in 1948, in Planegg near Munich) created a new reality with his paintings, which he created with broad-brushed and vigorous, merging colors. His inspiration finds source in nature, in the cosmos or in biblical content. Nonetheless in the painting process, he does not have concrete examples: "All my pictures are fictitious situations. They are experiences expressed in painting."
Zimmer formed a group the "Junge Wilden" ("Youong Youth") in the late 1970s with his colleagues Rainer Fetting and Helmut Middendorf. Today he is one of the most important German contemporary artists of world-wide fame.
