Midi de l'Art: Peter Zimmermann - Invisible
- exhibition

guided tour
Peter Zimmermann (born in 1956 in Freiburg im Breisgau) lives and works in Cologne. A graduate of the Akademie der Bildenden Künste Stuttgart (1979-1984), he taught painting at the Kunsthochschule für Medien in Cologne from 2002 to 2007. For over thirty years, his innovative work on painting and composition techniques has established him as one of the most important German painters of his generation.
His works can be found in many public and private collections, including the Fondation Cartier pour l’Art contemporain in Paris, the Musée d’Art moderne de la Ville de Paris, the Museum für Angewandte Kunst in Cologne, the Galerie für Zeitgenössische Kunst in Leipzig, the Kunsthalle Bremen in Bremen, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
His epoxy paintings begin with images found online or from his own archives, processed by computer and then applied to canvas in successive layers. Playing with transparency and depth, their surfaces recall the smooth, shimmering colors of contemporary digital screens.
In his oil paintings, the interplay between model and representation is heightened; motifs are sourced from photographs taken on a smartphone, manipulated by a common app until unrecognizable, then manually painted. Peter Zimmermann explores the artist’s role in a world where visual perception is shaken by the increasing influence of digital representation.
