Albert Oehlen

1954 Krefeld
- lebt und arbeitet in Köln und Spanien

Albert Oehlen was born in Krefeld in 1954. After receiving training from 1970 to 1973 he became a bookseller. In 1974 Oehlen began to attend the Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Hamburg where he was taught art by Sigmar Polke until 1981. Oehlen and Werner Büttner founded the "Liga zur Bekämpfung widersprüchlichen Verhaltens" (League against contradictory behaviour) in 1976. The artist started to present his works in joint exhibitions with his brother Markus Oehlen in 1978. Oehlen produced different records with his brother Markus, A.R. Penck, Martin Kippenberger, Jörg Immendorf and Werner Büttner between 1979 and 1984. The two Oehlen brothers and Büttner founded spectacular associations such as the "Samenbank für DDR-Flüchtlinge" in 1980 and the "Kirche der Unterschiedlichkeit" in 1981. In the 1980s he realized "Malerei über Malerei", his own style combining abstract and figurative elements in painting. In 1986 and 1987 the artist traveled through Germany with Martin Kippenberger to give public lectures. In 1992 Oehlen set up a studio in the tower of Segovia's city wall. It was not before 1990 when Oehlen began to concentrate on painting again. Albert Oehlen successfully demonstrated to the public his artistic intention with his work "Bionic Botanic" which was presented during the exhibition "In Between" at the EXPO 2000 in Hannover.
