Jürgen Durner
Norimberga, 1964
Born in Nuremberg in 1964. From 1984 to 1989 he studied painting with Professor Christine Colditz at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg, and from 1990 to 1991 he attended Leonardo Cremonini's atelier at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He spent periods both working and studying in Berlin (1992-2001), New York (2001 and 2002) and London (2003-2005). His works follow his urban life and his confusing nature. All his series are characterized by different themes: Night, Image through Image, Rain, Transparencies etc. Durner creates stimulating and provocative pieces of art which reflect artificial world, the visual and sensorial impact of urban life and the distortion of society created through the reproduction of an oppressive environment. He attended solo and group exhibitions in Europe and took part in important international Art exhibitions like Art Karlsruhe, Art Fair Köln, Art Chicago, Selection Art Fair and Art Miami. His works belong to private and public collections. He lives and works in Berlin, Germany.
