Artist Statement:
With his paintings, the artist
tries to stimulate the viewer
to think about and look what
is behind the shiny surface of
things and activities around
us in daily life and society.
"Don't take everything for
it's face value....look at
what is behind the shiny
surface".
Born in Germany, Juergen
Eckstein has lived in Cologne,
Germany, Tokyo, Singapore and
Los Angeles and has shown his
work internationally. He
settled on the Oregon coast in
2000.
Eckstein, an autodidact, has
no formal art education. He is
self-taught, having learned
from doing, experimenting and
playing with various media
since childhood. Eckstein is
mainly a painter, working with
oils on canvas, and also works
three dimensionally with wood,
ceramics and glass. His style
is abstract with elements of
figurative subjects
challenging the viewers to use
their own imagination about
content, form and look at what
is behind the immediate
surface.
In his work, everthing is not
evident at first glance. “If
you’ve shown everything, there
is nothing left to see”, says
Eckstein.
His carved wood
sculpture,“Some However”,
stands at the North side of
the Performing Art Center in
Newport. ...
