Matthias Göhr

Painter, magician , storyteller.

A picture is worth a thousand words. The profound art of Palatinate artist Matthias Göhr appears, at first glance, to be pure abstraction. But if you allow yourself to embark on the journey, your eyes carefully scanning the painting, then his protagonists become visible. In works that evoke quiet places, meditative and spiritual—far from any mainstream.

Matthias Göhr captures the cycle of life on his canvases. Animals, humans, and hybrid creatures merge into dreamlike forms, dissolving and inviting the viewer to follow their tracks. His works are always the result of his emotional world. They move from the inside out onto canvas and paper as if by themselves. The mood fluctuates between melancholic and serene, tender and joyful, free, heavy and light.
