Gregor Hiltner
Arab Spring - large, dynamic, narrative, surrealist abstract, acrylic on canvas

2015

About the Item

Inspired by drawings made by children, Hiltner has created a chaotic narrative of surreal figures and animals drawn in red acrylic across an expanse of raw canvas in this over 6 feet wide painting. A central palm tree in red outline with black leaves divides the pyramidal composition that is completed with select sections painted in with red, turquoise, white and periwinkle. The sky is brushed, bright yellow. This work is aptly titled referring to a series of protests that occurred in the Middle East and North Africa that began in 2010 and became known as the Arab Spring. Gregor Hiltner (b. 1950, Nu¨rnberg) studied from 1970-1978 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich with Karl Fred Dahmen, as well as at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg as a master student of Ernst Weil. Hiltner undertook study trips including a fourteen-month stay in the Middle East (Syria, Jordan, Israel). In 1979, he spent six months in Polynesia and Micronesia, and in 1980/81, with a scholarship of the German Academic Exchange service (DAAD), he went to London, Brazil, Tuscany, Canada, as well as in the United States. In addition to his worldwide exhibitions, Hiltner has also produced public commissions, the design for the Metro station Rathenauplatz, and in 1996 the longest image of of Germany (220 × 2 metres) in the EuromedClinic, Furth.
