HANS SCHÜLE GERMANY, b. 1965
Biography
THE INTERSECTION OF GEOMETRY AND ORGANIC FORM
Born in 1965 in Neckarsulm, Germany, Hans Schüle is a renowned sculptor and painter whose work explores the balance between geometric precision and organic fluidity. His pieces, often crafted in steel, range from angular to curvilinear, from large-scale to intimate, and are finished in vibrant hues, monochrome, or raw metallic tones.
Schüle initially trained as a graphic designer before pursuing painting and sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich and the Berlin University of the Arts between 1991 and 1997, under the mentorship of Professor Jürgen Reipka. This diverse background informs his artistic approach, where rigid industrial materials are transformed into seemingly weightless, dynamic compositions.
His sculptures, despite their heavy steel construction, convey an unexpected sense of lightness and movement. By merging biomorphic and geometric elements, Schüle creates a dialogue between art and natural sciences, questioning the interplay between structure and spontaneity.
Over the years, Hans Schüle has exhibited extensively across Germany, Canada, and Switzerland, with notable shows at the Georg Kolbe Museum in Berlin, Kunstmuseum Singen, and Gallery Jones in Vancouver. His talent has been recognized with several awards, including the Werkstattpreis from the Erich Hauser Art Foundation (2000) and the Sculpture Prize from the Lebens Art Foundation (2011).
Today, Hans Schüle lives and works between Hohenfels and Berlin, continuously pushing the boundaries of contemporary sculpture through his innovative and captivating creations.
