____________________________

“Klaus Neuper’s painted worlds unfold on the one hand on the canvas, and on the other hand, through impasto mixed media techniques and relief-like engravings, they suggest a creative bridge to real and three-dimensional space. For in his layering and glazing technique, and through the graphic method he employs—etching linear drawings into the still-wet paint with a brush—Neuper’s art reminds us of the mixed media technique of so-called mural paintings, as created before him by important painters such as Willi Baumeister, Joan Miró, and Antonio Tàpies” (Gerhard Kolberg).


``` from 2004, Klaus Neuper was Professor of Art at the Cologne University of Applied Sciences.

from 1969 onwards, he held numerous solo exhibitions and participated in many group exhibitions.
