Biography

Andreas Schulze (born 1955) is a German painter.

Early life and education

Schulze was born in Hanover.

From 1978 through 1983, Schulze attended the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, where he studied under the painter Dieter Krieg.

Career and work

Andreas Schulze first began showing alongside neo-expressionist artists in the 1980's, although his work was considerably less gestural than that of his contemporaries. The artist instead opted for more rounded forms, which he used to create a playful, humorous style of figuration. Typical subjects included the contents interior spaces - such as pillows, lamps, and furniture - which he merged with more ominous abstraction. While his work has certain halmarks of preciousness, there is a distinctly eerie aspect to it. As described by Terry Myers in his review for The Brooklyn Rail, "[Schulze's work] could have feasibly collapsed into cuteness rather than holding it hostage. Schulze achieves this standoff by inserting what he has called “filth” into the situation."

In 1985, shortly after he began exhibiting, Schulze established a relationship with the gallerist Monika Sprueth, whom he has worked with ever since.

Over his thirty year career, Schulze has returned extensively to a number of motifs, including automobiles, windows, and lamps.

Another significant aspect of his practice is the construction of immersive installations, which include painted walls and floors, objects of his own design, and found furniture.

Schulze is represented by Team Gallery in New York and Sprüth Magers in Cologne, Berlin, London and Los Angeles.
