Ralph Fleck (Freiburg i. Breisgau, Germany 1951)

The artist studied at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe (Freiburg branch) and was a master student of Peter Dreher. From 2003 to 2015, he was Professor of Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg.

In 1977 he was awarded the Sparkasse Karlsruhe sponsorship prize, in 1978 the prize of the Kulturkreis im BDI and in 1981 the Villa Massimo scholarship in Rome. His paintings have been shown in numerous solo exhibitions in Germany, England, the Netherlands and South Korea and can be admired in many private and public collections.

Works by the artist can be found in the Bavarian State Painting Collection in Munich, the Kunsthaus Zürich, the Museum Schloss Moyland, the Sprengel Museum in Hanover and the Wilhelm Lehmbruck Museum in Duisburg, among others, as well as in many public and private collections in Germany and abroad.

Ralph Fleck teases out the colourfulness of banal everyday themes in order to present them to the viewer in a new guise in a singular, very impasto and undiluted painting with oil paint.
