Philip Oeser, who saw the light of day in Northernhausen in 1929 as Helmut Müller in Nordhausen, is considered an important post -war artist. He has been working under the pseudonym Philip Oeser since 1965 and devoted himself to the creation of material prints, frottage and assemblages. In his late work in particular, he deals with the explosive topics of extinction and apocalypse, which are discussed in art in art and also have a permanent place in literature, as the Wikipedia determines.

artistic examination of the offense

OESERS Creative Work reflects the conflict between forming form and the offenses of orders, a central motive in many works of art over the end of the world. His lifelong handling of the topic of the end of the world, which plays an important role in mythology, literature and even music, is particularly fascinating. These topics can be traced back to the ancient Greek myths and biblical revelation.

As part of the exhibition, which includes 70 of his works and which lies in Erfurt, Oeser's cycle "24 Leaves zum Apokalypse" is also presented as a loan of the Evangelical Augustiner monastery. These works are not only aesthetic, but invite you to reflect on the fragility of our existence and show how artists have dealt with the idea of ​​the end of the world for centuries.
