Klaus Stümpel

The Klaus Stümpel compositions featured in this book are characterised by a precise observation of nature but also always warn of a memento mori. If ever a work could be said to unite art and life, Klaus Stümpel’s oeuvre is sure to justify this claim: from his still life drawings of the 1970s with their precisely captured birds, animal heads and architecture to the more recent monumental collages and relief paintings, Klaus Stümpel paints, draws and sculpts what he sees, what he knows well and therefore, as a good realist, what he can reinvent.0Exhibition: raumLABOR, Braunschweig, Germany (09.04.-08.06.14).
