Über das Werk: "If painting once depicted landscapes and cityscapes, today it increasingly focuses on the latent dynamics of metropolises in the works of Erik Schmidt. In his artistic practice, Schmidt uses oil colours with such intensity that they emphasise the complexity of their subject - like a special personality that reflects the urban phenomenology itself. This interplay between technique and subject or theme has been at the core of Erik Schmidt's (mimetic) work for years." From an exhibition text by Mitch Speed.

Erik Schmidt
Born 1968 in Herford, lives in Berlin. His series of paintings are closely related to his video works, in which he examines the behavioural rituals of social subsystems and repeatedly immerses himself in their environment. His motifs include performances and paintings relating to the urban space of Berlin, the lifestyles of white-collar workers in Japan, the Occupy movement in NY and hunting parties in Germany. His works have been shown in international exhibitions, including Galerie Kinzinger, Vienna; Galerie carlier | gebauer, Berlin; Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin; KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin; MARTa Herford, Herford; Haus am Waldsee, Berlin, Museo Reina Sofia, Madrid, Spain; Woodone Museum, Hiroshima, Japan; Barbara Gladstone Gallery, New York, USA; Museo de las Artes, Guadalajara, Mexico. Schmidt is currently working on a solo exhibition for the KINDL - Centre for Contemporary Art in Berlin for 2025.
