Biography
Rainer Fetting is a contemporary German painter and sculptor, born on December 31, 1949, in Wilhelmshaven, Germany. He gained prominence as one of the leading figures of the "Neue Wilde" (New Wilds), a group of young, expressive artists that emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s in Berlin. Fetting studied at the Berlin Academy of Arts and co-founded the Galerie am Moritzplatz with other artists, providing a platform for their vibrant, raw style.
Fetting's works are characterized by bold, dynamic brushstrokes and vibrant colors, often depicting urban landscapes, male figures, and portraits. He became well-known for his paintings of Berlin’s Wall and depictions of David Bowie. Beyond painting, Fetting also ventured into sculpture, with notable works like his life-sized bronze sculptures, including a prominent statue of Willy Brandt.
His art has been exhibited internationally, and his works are held in numerous major collections, making him a key figure in post-war German art.
