Gernot Kissel

Born in 1939 he started painting at the age of 18 and worked in architecture and engineering until he chose to paint full time. Having numerous successful solo and group shows, his work has been exhibited and collected widely throughout Europe and USA with a growing reputation in France and the UK. His paintings are in museum and collections worldwide.

His still lifes and landscapes are strong and bold expressionist works with vibrant colour and stark line. KISSEL is better known, however, for his female nudes or portraits which are painted with an almost disconcerting bold assurance. His female figures have a direct and powerful sensuality and force the observer to admire them. These paintings are like a love for women.
