Throughout all his series, Goetz Diergarten creates a realm for the contemplation of the unnoticed and the beauty of the ordinary. On the one hand, his images have a stringent documentary character. On the other hand, their appeal lies in their painterly quality which is manifested in the interaction between abstraction and color. Goetz Diergarten (born 1972) is part of the „POC-nucleus“, apperently lifelong president of POC-EU. Solo shows in 2010/2011 at Museum Weserburg Bremen (Germany), Pfalzgalerie Kaiserslautern (Germany) and Wyspianski Pavilion Krakow (Poland). Since 2000 various gallery shows in Berlin, Santa Monica, Vienna, Prague, Seoul and other places. Goetz Diergarten has received a Hasselblad research grant and most recently the Pfalz Prize for Fine Art which will be documented in his 6th monograph.
