The Hamburg-based painter Jochen Hein (b. 1960), who was in Alkersum in 2015 as artist-in-residence, has studied the Collection Art of the West Coast intensely and faces up to the never-ending dialogue of painting through the centuries – beyond time. Jochen Hein’s paintings communicate with the works of the “old” masters in the Collection Art of the West Coast – for instance, with the paintings of Hans Peter Feddersen, Peder Severin Krøyer and Piet Mondrian. The catalogue accompanying the concurrent monographic exhibition “Jochen Hein – Above the Depth” is available at the museum shop and in book shops.
