DIETER CORNELS / DC VEERO11-10-2018

(Solo exhibition called "Funkenschlag"  /  June 2017   in the "Museo della città di Rovinj - Rovigno".)



Dieter Cornels, also known as DC Veero was born on July 7, 1938 in Berlin and died in Baden-Baden, on June 15, 2016.  During the 1960s, he studied sculpture under the mentorship of Manit Ozere, and frequently visited Picasso in Cannes. Since the 1970s, he collaborated with Otmar Alt, Joseph Beuys, Robert Filliou, Alfonso Hüppi, Gerhard Richter, Sigmar Polke, Jörg Immendorff, and many more.

Critics have compared DC Veero’s art to that of Beuys, Richter, and Kandinsky in terms of value. While presenting an award to DC Veero in 2008, Kurt Liebenstein, former mayor of Baden-Baden, stated: “DC Veero is one of the most significant German artists; the value of his works is equivalent to those of Joseph Beuys and Gerhard Richter. On the same occasion, the renowned professor Dr. Eike Gebhardt also praised DC Veero's artistic expression and highlighted its significance withing the context of contemporary art. 


FROM THE PRESS : 

Kurt Liebenstein, former mayor of Baden-Baden, stated the following: “DC Veero is one of the most significant German artists; the value of his works is equivalent to those of Joseph Beuys and Gerhard Richter. 
(Baden Baden News)   ...  

In Veero’s paintings, identities disintegrate almost without exception, as well as concrete associations to any location; they turn into something else that is frequently indefinable at first, they mostly grow into a new figure i.e. figural fragment, occasionally sans any change of colour, and sometimes they vanish in the strictly defined amorphousness while hesitantly remaining latent. And then, halfway, one does discover a mouth, it seems as if there is a chest and glasses underneath the vortex – and a mouth, a cubistically perspectived nose right next to it, but on the other surface; and, in lieu of an eye, a ship or a tub indicating a face… Faces and eyes, always and everywhere – if this presumption is correct, not only ought we learn to see, but we ought to also be made visible; not only ought we behold things, but things ought to also behold us. 
(Dario Sosich)
