Biographical Note:

Jürgen Görg was born in 1951 in Dermbach, Germany, and was brought up in Lahnstein am Rhein. His early interests were rock and jazz music both as a guitarist and as a saxophonist. In 1971 he started at university studying German and geography but changed the following year to studying painting and drawing as well as etching and other intaglio techniques at the Johannes-Gutenberg University in Mainz. Jürgen Görg studied visual arts first in Koblenz, and began his professional career in 1977 as an artist and printmaker and by 1980, was awarded a special painting prize by the district of Rheinland-Pfalz.

Görg employs a monochromatic palette, applying soft colour with graphite combined with translucent layers of oil paint. He focuses the viewer's eye through his subtle use of white highlights and sparse bright colour. The viewer is entranced by the sensuous flow of Görg's delicate draughtsmanship, harmonious lines and erotic shapes.
