Alfons Lachauer

SHORT INFO

Alfons Lachauer (*1945 in Rosenheim) lives and works in Stephanskirchen.

"The works of Alfons Lachauer are characterized by an unusual, strange colourfulness, they are marked by an overwhelming clarity and quiet elegance. The painter Alfons Lachauer generally prefers cool colors with a high proportion of white. In most people's minds, however, cool colors are often associated with rationality. As a result, Alfons Lachauer's oil paintings tend to be perceived as "something alien" when viewed due to their cool, structured colors.

Alfons Lachauer studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich under Günther Fruhtrunk in the 1960s. He builds his spaces in surfaces, his spatial bodies are based on painting, his third dimension is color.
