Christian Hellmich

Biography

Christian Hellmich was born in 1977 in Dusseldorf, Germany and studied Communication Design with an emphasis on free diagramming/painting at the EGHS Duisburg Essen. For Hellmich, painting is an exercise in taxonomy rather than storytelling. His buildings and landscapes emphasize texture, form and geometry, with a rigorous investment in the materiality of his surfaces. Hellmich's work has been included in numerous group exhibitions such as at Kunstverein Mannheim and Von-der-Heydt-Museum Wuppertal, he was featured in Lehmann Maupin's 2005 Summer Show, "Fresh Paint", and held a solo show at Tanja Pol Galerie, Munich in 2009. In 2010 a solo exhibition of Hellmich's work was on view at Kunthstalle Barmen. He lives and works in Cologne. To download artist's CV, please click on "Printable PDF of Full Text"
