Jochen Mühlenbrink (1980, DE), lives and works in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Here he completed the Art Academy in 2007 under guidance of Markus Lüpertz. In The Netherlands, his works have been acquired by prominent collections. Mühlenbrink’s works are depictions of physical reality, fictitious images and physical objects at the same time. Fogged windowpanes, for example, are in reality nothing but oil on canvas and exist both through the illusion they produce and the material of which they consist.
