DIETRICH KERKY
26 November 1930, Stralsund, Germany Nach absolvierter Schauspielausbildung bekam Kerky Engagements an Bühnen in Bayreuth, Düsseldorf, Eßlingen und Frankfurt am Main. Von 1958 bis 1962 war der Schauspieler am Deutschen Theater in Berlin aktiv, parallel dazu startete er eine Film- und Fernsehlaufbahn bei der DEFA und dem Deutschen Fernsehfunk (DFF). Nach dem Bau der Berliner Mauer arbeitete er zunächst an Theatern im Westteil Berlins, später aber auch in München und anderen bundesdeutschen Städten. In den 1970er Jahren wurde er häufig in Erotikfilmen besetzt, stand aber auch in einigen internationalen Film- und Fernsehproduktionen vor der Kamera.- WIKIPEDIA German .......prisoner-of-war ... actor...director....artist by chance and by calling .... hippy...eccentric ....lives on bread , papaya , green tea, ideas and fresh air .....takes you through his journey with his brush ,his palette and some canvas . Recruited as a soldier at the age of fourteen he was held captive
as a prisoner of war in 1946 in Siberia. Soon after his release
he began making puppets for living .Dietrich was spotted for his
commanding voice and offered acting assignments in Munich. Since his first exhibition in the year 1965 he has never looked back and Art went to become his life. He has displayed his work in Europe, South America and Asia. He has won world wide acclaim and his works are collection of major museums in Germany including the "Orangerie" where he has had four shows since 2003. Till date, he has acted in and directed nearly sixty films and
thirty television serials and has around sixteeen art exhibitions
. Dietrich is an Expressionist. The soul quenching power felt in his work remind this writer of masters like Francisco de Goya, Wassily Kandinsky, Francisco Bacon and many others. At the same time, his innocence is also reflected in these works. The painting, which, at first instance look like child’s meaningless, doodles grow on the viewers in the course of observation. The untitled work leaves the onlookers to decipher the meaning by themselves. Infact ,individuals viewers can draw a connection of the works with his or her subconscious storehouse and extract significant meaning out of the same. (Extracts from Naguesh R. Sardsesai's article ,"Fascinating Strokes" in the Navhind Times,March,31st,2005) To read more of Naguesh Sardessai's latest article on Dietrich Kerky,please click on the following link: http://www.navhindtimes.com/story.php?story=2009032189 The source of Kerky’s creations is to be found not only in his past extremely multi-layered curriculum between theatre, film industry & culture politics but in his awareness beyond the mind – in the very moment when his colors meet his canvas. One of his core concepts is ‘No Concept’ – following the flow of the happenings in the Here & Now. Inspired by emerging forms, shapes & shadows he is carried away by upcoming associations, tales of people around him & sudden surprises on his canvas – melting into the whole, one with his brush, canvas, color – in a move blind of love. Mysterious figurative & informal elements embedded in local scenery, shapes not to be identified at a glance, limbs, faces & bodies in astonishing combination create • The Invisible the meaningful, the meaning beyond. Kerky’s paintings are granting us a freedom look into the mirror of self perception; his work encourages new answers on the never ending and always new question of “ Who Am I ? “ Every human defines a world on his own : Kerky’s work reflects
the space & the vibration of the worlds between beings –
worlds between ourselves and the world. -Klaus C.Meyer ,Candolim,21st March 2009
