ENDY HUPPERICH
(Kaufbeuren, Germany, 1967)
Lives and works in Morelos, Mexico.
His artistic approach starts from an artificial realism and an accidental abstraction, his works try to show the symbiosis that exists between a painting and the daily visual contexts that it faces when it is generated and existing. As a pictorial collage, images from magazine clippings, cartoons, postcards or 90’s calendars overlap in abstract or undefined spaces.
He studied at Akademie der Bildenden Künste München (the Academy of Plastic Arts in Munich) where he was an assistant to Karl Imhof and a pupil of Helmut Strum. In 1992 he arrived in Mexico and since then he has been working and living between Germany and different parts of the Mexican Republic.
In 2000 he received a scholarship from the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service).
In 2003 he was part of the collective exhibition Drops for the eyes at Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Oaxaca (MACO) (Oaxaca), making his way into the national scene.
Between 2002 and 2004 he was a visiting professor at the Escuela Nacional de Pintura, Escultura y Grabado (ENPEG) “La Esmeralda” (Mexico City). Later, in 2007, together with other German artists, he was part of the exhibition Vistazo at Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil (Mexico City). Since then he has participated in various exhibitions in galleries and museums in Germany, Mexico, Spain and Serbia.
Among his most recent exhibitions, stand out the solo shows: Rien ne va plus avec muse and Un litro y dos en la esquina, Galería Karen Huber (Mexico City, 2021 & 2018); Pintura Reactiva curated by Carlos Palacios, Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil (Mexico City, 2018) and The artist columned hall at STOA169 Stiftung (Polling, GE, 2020).
