ARTIST:
Falk Gernegroß (born 1973) is a well known German artist from Leipzig, he attended the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig and studied painting under Arno Rink and Neo Rauch. The main subject of his paintings are female nudes, on the one hand in erotic pose, on the other hand in provocative or kind of pornographic poses. A contrast to the painted figures give the mostly romantic landscape background, so his paintings seem to play with the viewer and his changing feelings of fascination and disgust.
