昊美术馆很荣幸地宣布，将于7月15日起呈现德国艺术家弗里德里希·埃因霍夫在亚洲的首次美术馆个展“自性洄溯”。该展览将展出百余件埃因霍夫的布面及纸本作品，同时收录了艺术家从未公开展出的素描和教学笔记，以及珍贵的采访影片”
弗里德里希·埃因霍夫是一位德国艺术家。他于1936年出生于马格德堡，2018年在汉堡去世，享年82岁。
弗里德里希·埃因霍夫是一位勤奋且富有创造力的艺术家，他能够感知并引导他所处时代的能量。在二战后的成长过程中，由于少时体弱多病，他不得不在医疗机构中度过孤独的时光， 这段特殊的经历使他专注于研究和了解人性。
尽管他生前从未踏足中国，但他的作品却拥有大量追随者，在艺术家群体中尤甚，他们欣赏他的才华，同时也被他艺术中深刻而丰富的情感所打动。
展览策展人艾墨斯(Thomas Eller) 表示：“很显然中国和德国之间存在着一种隐藏着的强烈情感连接，而弗里德里希·埃因霍夫有效地激活了这种共鸣。”
此外，本次展览得到了德意志联邦共和国驻上海总领事馆的支持。
展览将持续到2023年10月29日。

关于艺术家
弗里德里希·埃因霍夫
弗里德里希·埃因霍夫（1936-2018）是当代德国最著名的表现主义艺术家之一，被称为“将汉堡置于德国艺术地图上的人”及“流派之间的流浪者”。他出生在二战前的德国，童年的战争和疾病经历深刻地使他想象了一个对立的世界（Gegenwelten），或平行世界，对他而言，这是人类“显性”和“隐性”之间未开发的领域。因此，埃因霍夫笔下的人物都有一种被束缚的魅力，他们或有模糊不清的五官、残缺的身躯。艺术家使用“异化”的表现手法，塑造静物似的人物形象，赋予它们与图像空间分离的感觉。
艺术史学家沃纳·霍夫曼（Werner Hofmann）博士称埃因霍夫是最具创新性和实验性的艺术家之一，因为他为人类边界的观点开辟了新的领域。他的作品表现出独特的严谨性和力度，利用各种媒介来“异化”人物的面部特征，使他们“无法辨认”。然而，若目光穿透到模糊不清的半透明面纱下面，又能通过人物完美的五官比例、讲究的线与体关系 、色块构图等，感受到埃因霍夫深厚的学院功底和极其高超的艺术水准。

Duration: 2023.07.15-2023.10.29
Artist: Friedrich Einhoff
Curator: Thomas Eller
Venue: HOW Art Museum(2F, No.1, Lane 2277, Zuchongzhi Road, Shanghai)

Friedrich Einhoff was a German artist. He was born in 1936 in Magdeburg and died in 2018 at age 82 in Hamburg.
Friedrich Einhoff was a very prolific and productive artist who was able to sense and channel the energies of his times. Coming of age immediately after WW2, he grew up a sickly boy who would have to spend lonely times in medical facilities, because of his ailments. This experience made him grow to become an expert in human nature.
Despite he never set foot in China his works have huge following especially amongst artists who appreciate his many talents, firstly as a magnificent painter, and secondly for the profound emotional richness of his art.
“Apparently there is a strong hidden emotional connection between China and Germany, that Friedrich Einhoff has managed to activate”, says Thomas Eller, the curator of the exhibition.
The exhibition has received support from German Consulate General Shanghai.
The exhibition will run through Oct 29, 2023.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Friedrich Einhoff
Friedrich Einhoff (b.1936-2018) is one of the most renowned contemporary German Expressionist artists, known as "the man who put Hamburg on the map of German art" and "the wanderer between genres ". Born in pre-World War II Germany, his childhood experiences of war and disease profoundly led him to imagine a world of oppositions (Gegenwelten), or parallel worlds, which for him was an unexplored area between human "manifest" and "latent" aspects. Therefore, the characters depicted in Einhoff's paintings have a captivating quality of being constrained, with indistinct facial features and incomplete bodies. The artist uses alienation as a technique to create figures that resemble still-life objects, thereby giving them a sense of separation from the pictorial space.
Dr. Werner Hofmann, an eponymous art historian, has called Einhoff one of the most innovative and experimental artists, for he opened up new territories for a view on human boundaries. His works exhibit a unique rigor and intensity, and he employs various media to "alienate" the facial features of his characters, rendering them “unrecognizable”. However, if one looks beyond the blurry, translucent veil, the perfect proportions of the characters' facial features, the meticulous lines and forms, and the composition of color, the works reveal Einhoff's profound academic background and extremely high level of artistic skill.
