Holger Baehr

I am a Landscape Artist, working with acrylic on canvas and use paint in either a layering or sketching process. Often I work on a series of paintings at a time; each one feeds the next and brings a certain harmony to the body of work. Whilst some pieces stand alone, new direction in my work has resulted in certain pieces being connected to each other, and consequently should remain side by side in a series as one piece. My paintings always associate with the surrounding landscape. I paint from memory, but often inspired by continuous journeys through the Irish countryside, especially the Shannon region where I live. Reacting to visual and atmospheric elements around me, the resulting work is meditative for both myself and observers. This brings a quiet beauty to my paintings. My aim is for the viewer to connect personally with each composition. My love for Ireland and its countryside can be seen in the various paintings.
