We are proud to present the Hamburg artist Bertolt Hering fort he first
time in a solo show at OsterwaldersArtOffice gallery as part of the der
4. Triennale der Photographie in Hamburg.
Over a period of 5 years Hering explores the colours of landscapes in
the changing seasons. On the spot he will mark down the colours according
to the internationally widely known NCS-Colour map transforming the notations
into a mixture of colour matter and, subsequently into landscape painting.
Thus he achieves a state of natural colour sequences and mixtures that
are superior to photographic notations – Runges Green instead of
Fuji-Green
The exhibition in OsterwaldersArtoffice provides a new aspect to Herings
work: in order to get nearer to the shine and brilliance of the colours
in natural daylight, Hering is using for this series of painting Rotbuchen
(oil on glass) fort he first time light boxes.
The probably most fascinating
phenomen in Herings work ist the emotional density that is achieved through
the very matter-of-fact „colour data“.
To Herings method please see the video „Farben
im Jahreskreis" (colours in annual cycle).

From
Bertolt Herings observations in nature insights emerge on how our natural
perception of colour is orientated outside, i.e., how we perceive the
notion of „Green“.
Bertolt Herings pamphlet for the strenghtening of a good „green“
awarness „Runges Grün instead of Fuji-Grün!“ is
available in the download.
Bertolt Hering was born 1961 in Darmstadt, 1981 to 1989 study at the
Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Hamburg, has had successes
with short films, like
Von den lustigen Dingen (Main price of the Filmothek der Jugend in Oberhausen
1987), was noted for his picture stories Demeters Weg 1999 and, occupies
himself since 2003 systematically with natural colours. Bertolt Hering
