Jörg Minrath is known for his mostly square textured paintings: unusual materials, distinctive surfaces and colour that is both expressive and controlled.

Acrylic paint is layered, compressed and structured until the work oscillates between calm and tension. Inspired by Rothko, Richter, Uecker and Pollock, he combines large formats with miniatures and collages in which he takes current movements further.

As both artist and gallerist, he runs Galerie Minrath in Cologne and Mallorca.
