Portraits & Figurative<\/h3>
\n

Figurative painting and portraits are recurring themes in his work. The focus is on portraits of women. They are often integrated into large work cycles, such as in the 90s into the topic of “witches” – to be <\/strong> understood as a warning against hatred of everything foreign. Later, the “Well Women” cycle crystallized out of an examination of the Indian caste system.<\/p>

“Often peculiarly close-up and without distance, emphatically haunting,” is how art historian Dr. Hans M. Schmidt describes Torsten Schl\u00fcter’s portraits.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Hiddensee<\/h3>
\n

It is his “open-air studio” – the island of Hiddensee and a place of intensive study of nature through drawing. With the wet-on-wet technique he developed, he created an unmistakable style in watercolor painting.
In 2004 Torsten Schl\u00fcter was awarded the South German Watercolor Art Prize.

“Schl\u00fcter captures urban life on canvas in acrylic and oil paintings with gripping expressiveness. One is reminded of German Expressionist painting. The power of the colors, the pulsating brushstrokes, all this is of compelling urgency.<\/em>“

Art and soccer<\/h3>

“Since 2001, an entire soccer series has been created for 1.FC Union Berlin. The painting “Sea of Flags” is a cry of jubilation, is intoxicating, full of passion and so full of energy. As if fireworks had gone off in the middle of the stadium. Torsten Schl\u00fcter has brought these fireworks to the screen as an expression of everything that 1.FC Union Berlin means to him – and to so many…<\/em>“

Early works<\/h3>

Early works from the eighties. The Weimar period and Hiddensee. “The conditions, enriched by the yellowish breath of the city, form a bubbling mixture.
