He often works in either very small or landscape formats, drawing from his own photographs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ordinary buildings such as sheds or bus shelters occupy vast spaces on the canvas; multi-storey car parks appear in dramatic close-ups, and certain details come through from unusual angles. In his painting \u201cJFK\u201d, Silbermann transforms the runways at New York\u2019s John F. Kennedy Airport into a geometric dressmaker\u2019s pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Light plays a crucial role in Silbermann\u2019s compositions. Through an artful balance of light and shadow and a cool-toned palette, arresting motifs emerge from barren places and deserted landscapes. Their colours and simplicity evoke the mood and atmosphere found in the works of American painter Edward Hopper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Andreas Silbermann,<\/strong> born in 1964 in Wilhelmshaven, studied painting at the Braunschweig University of Art (Hochschule f\u00fcr Bildende K\u00fcnste Braunschweig) with Prof. Hermann Albert.
