Michael Hutter Biography

Germany, born 1963

Michael Hutter is a German artist born in 1963, whose surreal works are as magical as they are strange. Since 1986 he has been exhibiting his work in numerous art galleries.

Michael Hutter‘s work is pitched at that enjoyably nebulous zone which lies on the borderlands of fantasy, science fiction and surrealism, from which hybrid visions emerge that are never too defined in one direction or another. His paintings remember the works by Brueghel or Hieronymus Bosch.

To evoke these pictures I developed some techniques which consists of my way to deal with literature, art, music, philosophy, science, religion and pseudo-science afar from mainstream culture. I don't care for reality or the probability that something is true, only for its potential to stimulate my thought. In my opinion truth is somehow an illusion anyway. I mix that with my obsession, passions, desires and fears and choke what happens in the abyss of my personality back on the surface.
