Paradisiacal hells: the lush, strange, and surreal worlds of Michael Hutter

Michael Hutter, a German artist, masterfully blends classical and contemporary techniques to create paintings that depict lush, strange, and surreal worlds. His works are a rich tapestry of fantasy, religion, science fiction, pop culture, and horror. Hutter’s paintings invite viewers into paradisiacal hells where the boundaries between different realms and eras blur, offering a visual feast that challenges and captivates the imagination.

For decades, Hutter has been crafting these oil paintings that toy with familiar elements and narratives, presenting them in a way that is both otherworldly and eerily relatable. His art is a dialogue between the known and the unknown, the serene and the chaotic, making each piece a unique exploration of the surreal.

To evoke these pictures, I developed some techniques which consists of my way to deal with literature, art, music, philosophy, science, religion and pseudo-science afar from mainstream culture. I don’t care for reality or the probability that something is true, only for its potential to stimulate my thought. In my opinion truth is somehow an illusion anyway. I mix that with my obsession, passions, desires and fears and choke what happens in the abyss of my personality back on the surface.
