Dr. med. Dr. phil. Georg M. Werner

"Dr. Dr. Georg Werner's paintings do not aim for realistic reproduction, but rather for emotional condensation. His works are created from flowing, often dissolving colors that open up spaces of association without drifting into the sentimental or decorative. Here, watercolor becomes a medium for atmospheric abstraction." – Planet Allgäu 2025, review of the exhibition "Biergarten" at the New Artists' Colony Brannenburg (NKB).

In a contemporary interpretation, Werner presents the traditional motif of the "beer garden" as a cultural space for social encounters at the Oberstdorf Gallery. In doing so, he draws on the historical legacy of the Munich School, whose members met in the Bavarian Inn Valley in the 19th century to celebrate and paint.

"Science can explain phenomena, but only art can make experiences and emotions tangible," says Georg Werner. This artistic position defines the work of the doctor of child and adolescent psychiatry and ethnology. The skills and interests he acquired outside of the visual arts help him transcend the narrow confines of the current academic understanding of art. His potential leads to extraordinary themes and new forms. Art is what an artist does—even if it's reinterpreting historical holy images.
