Georg Schmidt

Georg Schmidt’s studio, Rake­ten­sta­tion

In 1995, Karl-Heinrich Müller invited painter Georg Schmidt to work in a studio at Rake­ten­sta­tion Hombroich. He is still working here to this day, deve­lo­ping visual charac­ters in which light plays a central role as a material and colour. For him, painting is a form of reflec­tion for disco­veries that are not tied to words, symbols or figures. Schmidt was involved in deve­lo­ping and displaying Müller’s coll­ec­tion and organised exhi­bi­tions at different venues, including the Wachhaus, the Field Institute Hombroich and the Atelier­haus. As well as this, he put together various projects and events such as Malerei parallel zur Quan­ten­physik (Painting Parallel To Quantum Physics) and is on the advisory board of the Insel Hombroich support asso­cia­tion.

After studying at HFBK Hamburg and Kunst­aka­demie Düssel­dorf, Georg Schmidt exhibited his work in Germany and abroad. He lectures on colour and is a mentor of the LaB K NRW platform for artists.
