Wolfgang Dieter Bauer's paintings have their very own painterly intensity and mood. They train moral judgment and differentiate our emotional sensitivity. They have a timeless expressiveness that draws s them from their special aesthetics, tension, density and conciseness. Hypermoralism is a good paraphrase for his style. He documents reality coolly, critically, exaggeratedly, realistically. What you see is a symbiosis between the observed, its self-image and its artistic interpretation. He is authentic in his approach and well-versed in technique and execution.
