Studio community Steel & Color

When Henning and I should meet us 1991, none of us probably suspected both that this meeting meant the foundation-stone for a future, cooperation of many years.
Action-Painting. 1991 Lueneburger Bürgerhaus. Thohuwabohu festival. To this period I had relocate from the city on the country, work even on a farm building, which I wanted to re-design into a studio, as some musician friends asked me to organize with them a performance in the Lueneburger community centre.
I assured naturally directly. The gigantic canvas on the stage to fix prepared problems and one of the musician knew " the correct man " for the recovery of the problem.
The problem recovered I myself, (....but artistīs fate was ordered).


Thus Henning and I became acquainted with us. We were us at first attempt sympathy liking, not least, because we own work rage and researcher greed in the other detected and surprised it stated that we rank both among the kind of the autodidacts.

Both we had made similar experiences, how much courage and staying power the step to the free artist-living require, or how wearing down the continuous confrontation with people on all levels is, which even opposite of the autodidactic/self taught Art, skeptically, ignorantly or rejecting stands.

Henning lived and operated at present in an old farm building, in whose cellar he had created small smithy and work benches. One could not be in it upright, but approximately around the clock " make noise ".


A work from first stood of our cooperation. Counterpart: "Forma". A work from first stood of our cooperation. Counterpart: "Ergo". Alreadyafter a few together worked days in evenly this cellar, in which many different work samples developed, an enormous potential of the combination options revealed itself to us.
We decided "to fuse" and created the studio community Stahl & Farbe/ Steel & Color.
