In 1964, Jürgen Wittdorf created the series "Youth and Sport" as a commissioned work for the German University of Physical Culture (DHfK) in Leipzig. At just 32 years old, he achieved a masterpiece in the form of large-format woodcuts and linocuts – impressive both artistically and technically. The series also reveals a political dimension: competitive sports were used for propaganda purposes in East Germany. Wittdorf, himself homosexual, could not express this openly – his homoerotic depictions went unnoticed by the cultural officials.

Andre Bräuer is a self-taught artist from Hamburg who has turned his passion for art into his profession. He has lived and worked in the Hanseatic city since 2017, where he has developed his own unique style of expression. His works arise from spontaneous inner drive – art as an authentic outlet that translates emotions into color, structure, and movement.

Bräuer combines painting and photography into a visual language intended to touch the viewer and invite contemplation. Guided by the principle of "art that moves," he aims to emotionally connect with the viewer, evoke a range of feelings, and inspire individual narratives. His works are characterized by freedom, dynamism, and powerful expression, often realized with brush, palette knife, or directly by hand.

His art is regularly presented in public and receives attention both nationally and internationally.

With a clear vision and constant development, Andre Bräuer is working on his artistic presence in Hamburg, Germany, and beyond. His art aims to inspire, connect, and create space for emotion – for everyone who engages with it.
