Karl Horst Hödicke b.Nuremberg 1938-
In 1959 Karl Horst Hödicke arrived in Berlin to study art under the tutelage of painter Fred Thieler. Although his work was figurative it was very much influenced by his teacher’s abstract style. Using a squeegee, he could not help but make a bold statement. In the mid 60s his work became flatter. His subject matter was shop windows and neon signs, both rich in Pop imagery. He held exhibitions at Galerie René Block, one of the most avant-garde in the city.
He has now reverted to a loser more expressionistic style.
