Hendrik Zimmer (b. 1972) is a German artist and painter. Since the 2021, Zimmer has focused on the technique of woodcut, an old artistic process that he has been reinterpreting. Accentuated outlines, stylization of the surface, a tendency towards closed areas of color and strict geometrization are characteristics of this technique, which Zimmer deliberately integrates into his clear, powerful images. Interested in materiality and the artistic creation process, Zimmer has developed his visual language by combining forms and objects from different contexts. From this, he creates his own pictorial realms that do not ‘depict’ anything, but are something entirely of his own. They arise from Zimmer’s ‘fascination with the world and its people, its beauty and its abysses’, hinting at the familiar, but allowing the viewer to fill the resulting spaces with their own observations, experiences and memories
