Udo Lindenberg-Ausstellung in der Kunsthandlung Langheinz
Simply Udo. Exhibition at Kunsthandlung Langheinz By Martina Bielen for Kunsthandlung Langheinz
Kunsthandlung Langheinz is celebrating its 110th anniversary and invites you to an exhibition featuring Likörellen and paintings by Udo Lindenberg. At the opening on October 30, 2015, Udo Lindenberg will be represented by a "real Kujau." Double Marcus Krey, known from television, bears a striking resemblance to the original and sings so well that he has his own fan base. In keeping with World Savings Day, a piggy bank will be on site for donations to the Udo Lindenberg Foundation.
Udo Lindenberg When it comes to doing his own thing, Udo Lindenberg is the one: for over four decades, he has dedicated himself to music, receiving the Federal Cross of Merit for his efforts to foster understanding between East and West, and his musical "Hinterm Horizont" is the most successful Berlin musical of all time. Since the 1990s, his paintings have also made waves, so it’s no surprise that they have found their way into the Federal Chancellery. How did he come up with the quirky idea of using liqueur for his art? Insiders speak of a midnight moment at the Hotel Atlantic Kempinski in Hamburg, where Udo Lindenberg has resided for many years. To achieve even more vibrancy, Lindenberg developed a mixed technique in conjunction with traditional artist paints, which he patented. The uniqueness of his works, whether "Udogramme," Likörelle, mixed media paintings, or acrylic on canvas, lies in his own, as he calls it, "lindian" painting style. Vivid colors create a blend of cartoon and caricature, skillfully staged with a lot of visual humor and lively strokes, making his works one-of-a-kind pieces that defy conventional painting categories. Simply Udo.
The Udo Lindenberg Foundation The Udo Lindenberg Foundation supports water projects in South Africa, orphanages and schools in Kenya and Tanzania, drinking water projects in South Africa, and advocates for many others in urgent need of assistance.
In Germany, the foundation supports the "Steppenwölflinge von jetzt," young artists and musicians who stand out from mass commercialism with their bold lyrics.
