Landscape paintings around the Saaler Bodden, which fascinate with their vibrant colors and large formats.
Paco Knöller (*1950), who lives in Berlin, has been connected to Ahrenshoop and the landscape around the Saaler Bodden for decades through many work visits and private ties. In the early 1970s, he was a student of Joseph Beuys at the Düsseldorf Art Academy. Knöller works on paper or wood, sometimes in very large formats. He explores the transitions between painting and drawing, the relationships between lineament and pictorial space. In the process of creating a picture, he finds fragile balances between delicate, tentative, gradually developing lines and strong fields of color, resulting in energetically charged pictures that exert a strong fascination.
