Education:
Richter
attended Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg from 1991-1995. Between
1992-1996 he studied with Werner Büttner, one of the protagonists, along with
Martin Kippenberger, of the revival of expressive trends in painting during the
1980s, and worked as assistant to Albert Oehlen. Between 2004 and 2006 he
served as Professor for Painting at the Universität der Künste, Berlin. Since
2006, he has been teaching at Akademie der bildenden Künste, Vienna. He is
married to director Angela Richter.
Themes and
style:
Initially,
Richter did abstract paintings, with a cosmos of forms intensely colourful to
the point of being psychedelic – somewhere between graffiti and intricate
ornamentation. Since 2002 he has painted large-scale scenes filled with
figures, often inspired by reproductions from newspapers or history books.
Techniques:
His work
is mainly developed in paintings.

In his own words:
“ I went to the University of Visual Arts,
because I didn’t know what I should do with my life. I thought that art would
make a lot of sense. Plus there was also the money from the state. Werner
Büttner, who was to become my future professor, exposed me straight away
because he thought that I was just in it for the money. Bafög [the state
funding for students], maximum rate. But that gave me some breathing space. I
could comprehend, at least to some extent, the meaning of art. I may have
always been involved with illustrations, but at the beginning it was all about
how art distinguishes itself from this idea of, in inverted commas, autonomous
artwork in relation to a usable object, that’s what it was about at the
beginning. To start off with I wasn’t so crazy about painting. But ironically
it is the artistic field, in which the independence of the artist stretches the
furthest. In painting you are least reliant on other people.”
