Horst Loewel

Painter

Horst Loewel was born in Hannover, Germany. He studied philosophy, biology, geography and art in Bonn, Munster, and Cologne. Currently living in Qualicum Beach, on Vancouver Island, B.C., Horst is a representative of the fantastic, surrealistic school of art. He indulges in painting cosmic dreamy landscapes full of symbolics, and yet performed in the most accurate and naturalistic style of the old masters. His paintings are visions of a dreamlike, unreal and unlimited world of imagination presented with a great feeling for perspective and space. The works of Horst Loewel tend to glorify nature and cosmos, while human beings appear to play a subordinate role.

Since 1969, Horst has participated in solo and collective exhibitions in Europe, America and Japan, including the cities of: Cologne, Hamburg, Zurich, Paris, Bonn Stuttgart, Berlin, Munich, Dusseldorf, Antwerpen, Monte Carlo, Montpellier, Puerto de la Cruz, Athens, Toronto, Halifax, Montreal, Boston, and Tokyo.

•  Pacific Art Garden of the Beachies, Vancouver Island, BC, Canada

•  Galerie Kocken, Kevelaer/ Rheinland, Germany

•  Gallery Fran Willis, Victoria, BC, Canada
