„Hope", Refugees, Gemälde Acryl auf Leinwand (2016) Painting by Uwe Fehrmann

Uwe Fehrmann is a contemporary German artist. His formative years included training at the "Otto Nagel House," where he honed his skills in nudes, still lifes, drawing, and painting techniques. A pivotal period followed as he became a member of an artists' group in Berlin-Pankow, coupled with an internship as a restorer at the "Nationalgalerie Berlin" and a role as an exhibition assistant.

Post-high school, Fehrmann pursued studies in art and German language and literature at the "Humboldt University" in Berlin. In 1984, driven by a desire to escape the constraints of unfreedom and censorship in the GDR, he sought refuge in the Federal Republic of Germany via the German Embassy in Prague.

From 1985 to 1986, Fehrmann lent his artistic talents to NDR Hamburg and Studio Hamburg, where he contributed to theater, film, and television productions, including the renowned "Cats" in Hamburg. Settling in Hamburg since 1987, he has dedicated himself entirely to his artistic pursuits. His extensive study trips to Italy and France have enriched his creative perspective.

Uwe Fehrmann's artistic endeavors have spanned various projects and predominantly large-format paintings across Germany and abroad, including Belgium, Austria, and Switzerland. Some of his works delve into his social experiences in the GDR, exhibited multiple times by the federal authority BStU. In 2012, the Berlin Wall Foundation acquired his painting "Reconstruction."

Collaborating with prominent artists, such as Bernhard Heisig, Gudrun Brüne, and Johannes Heisig, Fehrmann showcased his work at the English Church Cultural Center in Bad Homburg in 2011. Recognition continued in 2014 when he was awarded the Art Prize of the Werner Viktor Toefflin Foundation in Berlin's Red City Hall for his painting "Fata Morgana - Energiewolke," now part of the collection of paintings at the Stiftung Stadtmuseum Berlin.

The same year marked an honor from the President of the European Commission, Dr. Jose Manuel Barroso, and Dr. Angela Merkel, as Fehrmann was invited, along with other selected artists, to the 3rd General Assembly "NEW NARRATIVE FOR EUROPE" at the Academy of Arts Berlin. Uwe Fehrmann's artistic journey exemplifies a steadfast commitment to his craft and a continuous exploration of themes that transcend borders and time.
