Comic Zeichner Walter Moers in Schloss Oberhausen: Auf nach Zamonien!

On Sunday, the Ludwig-Galerie Oberhausen places itself in the world of fantasy of the painter and storyteller Walter Moers with his squiggly cheeses and crazy figures. Under the motto “What is there to laugh about?” more than 300 original images, dolls and animations from the Cosmos were seen as comic art. A natural image of the credibility of the title in Blaubär, the “Little Arschloch” or “Adolf the Nazi Sau” not.

The upward power of the shadow power is the central figure of the Roman novel by Walter Moers with the fictional continent of the Zamon: Hildegunst von Mythenmetz, in the “Labyrinth der Träumenden Bücher”. In the large format, an overview of other fable figures, the green Lindwurm depicts himself with shave-teeth and false blue on the title motif of the Ausstellung. Aus gutem Grund, is gilded as a favorite figure and alter ego of the most successful bestseller authors of Walter Moers. It is only known that the true 67-year-old originates from Mönchengladbach and has long lived in Hamburg.

As long as the war with the artist was going on, it took a long time before the comic-zeichner began, his creations were cult: the parody of „Adolf the Nazi Sau“ or the in unzählige variants appeared well-known figures „Das Kleine Arschloch“. Look, it is a pity of the retreats. You can see such a parody of art history in the “Kleine Arschloch” in notorious works of art with Edvard Munchs Schrei or Edward Hopper’s Nachtschwarmer.

This time is dedicated to the Museumsleiterin Vogt Gespräche for our own “Moerseum” as Dauerausstellung in Oberhausen aus de Beständen Seines Vorlasses. “The design is consistent, we have a great focus on our work and a good understanding of our work,” said this. It was not possible for the financing to yield 20 million euros. The new publication „Was you able to laugh?“ is due on January 19th. (epd)
