Jürgen Schön Exhibitions and Events

Born in Riesa, Germany, in 1956, Jürgen Schön has embarked on a remarkable artistic journey that blurs the lines between object and space. Now based in Berlin, his work invites viewers into a captivating visual dialogue, encouraging us to reflect on our perceptions and interactions with art.

Schön’s creations go beyond aesthetics, challenging us to explore deeper meanings and perspectives. As Ralph Lindner eloquently notes, his immobile objects and drawings compel observers to engage with the intricate relationship between materiality and perception.

Characterized by unique abstraction, Schön’s art emerges from an intuitive layering of paper, forming delicate, sensual sculptures. With a minimalist palette, these pieces draw our attention to their material essence, urging contemplation on how we perceive the world around us.

Artistic Journey:

- 1975-1979: Vocational training as a stonemason and sculptor

- 1979-1986: Studied sculpture at Hochschule für Bildende Künste, Dresden

- 1989-1990: Continued studies at Hochschule der Künste, Berlin

- 1991-2005: Recipient of multiple prestigious awards, including the Käthe-Kollwitz Prize

Schön’s work embodies a distinctive abstraction that floats within its architectural context. It reminds us that art is not just about meaning but about the journey of exploration itself. Each piece invites diverse interpretations, reflecting our unique perspectives.
