【Well-known Artist- Germany】Chris Bleicher
Chris Bleicher
Cultural Ambassador & Neon Artist
Artistic Concept:
Through my artwork I want to express "Joy of Living", stimulate the fantasy and promote a positive attitude
with colors and shapes. I believe in experimentalism, exposing in my art the exotic, erotic, ecological and humorous.
The zeitgeist I am 8-15 years ahead, for example as the first (neon)artist in Germany I started Urn Art.
Since more than 20 years with numerous actions/happenings in press/tv I have shown commitment for
preserving nature in combination with technology. An intact nature is so important for the next generations.
Therefore, I show the beauty of nature that needs to be preserved.
In addition, I support Brillen Weltweit (Eyewear Worldwide) with my glasses collection charity activities.

Size: 113 x 94 cm
Year: 1989
Description: This work I created one year after a travel to China. I was always fascinated by the parks that were created, which were perfectly modeled on nature. In the ponds there were usually numerous huge goldfish with fan-like fins that move as if in the wind. Two of the most beautiful specimens of fabric that I brought back from this trip inspired me to create the composition. Of course the "laughing Buddha" (I photographed) - a rarity - could not be missing. The aura of the Buddha penetrates the rock and glows with yellow neon light. The original can only be reached with a few climbing skills, carved into a rock wall and admired near Hangzhou. Clean air and water are the basis for healthy nature and healthy and happy men on our planet.

Description: This work is the main opera of the exhibition.
The Devil Rests in Paradise-Diabolic Performance with Bodypainting.
This main work of art was created during my first stay on Turks & Caicos Islands
(British West Indies, at the southernmost end of the Bahamas), when this island wasstill a paradise without tourists.
The impressions were so heavenly that they inspired me to create this work of art: Because in paradise even the devil rests.
During my subsequent visits, however, I noticed that people everywhere-even in the most beautiful places
on earth - bring their home-made problems with love,work, environmental pollution, etc..
