vita

EKKELAND GÖTZE was born in Dresden (Germany) in 1948. He has been working as a painter, silk screen printer, engineer and manager. In 1988 he moved to Munich. He has been occupied with EARTH since 1989 and has been working at a conceptional IMAGE of the EARTH since then. He has realized projects all over the world.
In today’s times, in which human influences subject EARTH to immense changes, which are scientifically proven and controversially discussed, his artwork directs human awareness onto this complex of problems.

2018 he receives the Seerosenpreis of the state capital Munich
