German artist, Jupp Linssen was born in the town of Kempen in 1957. He first studied art with the minimalist painter and sculptor, Joachim Bandeau and since then he has lived and worked in Aachen and in the Netherlands. Linssen has carved out a very successful international career as an artist, with many major art exhibitions in galleries such as the Caldwell-Snyder Gallery, San Francisco, Galerie Maulberger, Munich, Galerie Dansleciel, Mougins, and the Jorgensen Gallery, Dublin. His paintings are now included in many international art collections, including that of the German government - who to date have purchased eighteen of his paintings - the Ludwig Forum for International Art, Aachen, and the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen Museum, Düsseldorf.
 
Linssen’s paintings are densely layered textured constructions composed from diverse materials such as concrete, sand, dried pigment, marble dust and paper. The coarse textured and scraped surfaces of his paintings, which echo contemporary urban environments, are often enlivened by abstract representations of nature such as a single flower, outlined in off-white, which result in a delicate juxtaposition, creating a dialogue between notions of weight and lightness, beauty and form, the natural and the man-made. His paintings, exude a Zen like tranquillity with the subtlety of light falling on their textured surfaces, which constantly draws the viewer’s eye to different facets of the painting, as the light changes throughout the day encouraging contemplative engagement.
