弗里德里希·埃因霍夫是德国当代最重要的表现主义艺术家之一，被誉为“把汉堡置于德国艺术地图上的人”及“流派间的漫游者”。他出生在二战前的德国，童年经历的长期战乱和疾病，导致他想象出了一个对立世界（Gegenwelten）或者说一个平行世界。对他而言，这是一个在人类“显性”与“隐性”之间未被审视的区域。因此，埃因霍夫笔下的人物都有一种被束缚的魅力，他们或有模糊不清的五官、残缺的身躯，艺术家使用“异化”的表现手法，塑造静物似的人物形象，使其与画面空间始终有分离感。
艺术史家沃纳·霍夫曼（Dr. Werner Hofmann）博士称埃因霍夫是最有开拓精神和实验性的艺术家之一，因其为人类视觉边界开辟出了新的疆域。他创作的画面表现出独特的严谨性和力度，并利用各种媒介来“异化”人物的面部特征，使其“无法辨认”。然而，若目光穿透到模糊不清的半透明面纱下面，观者又能看到人物完美的五官比例、讲究的线与体积关系、色块构图等，从而感受到埃因霍夫深厚的学院功底和极其高超的艺术水准。
Born in Magdeburg in 1936, studied under Alfred Mahlau, Willem Grimm and Kai Sudeck at the Academy of Fine Arts Hamburg from 1957 to 1962. From 1978 to 1991 he taught as a professor for painting and drawing of the design faculty at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences. passed away in 2018.
Friedrich Einhoff is one of the most renowned contemporary German Expressionist artists, known as “the man who put Hamburg on the map of German art” and "a wanderer between genres". Born in pre-World War II Germany, the long period of war and illness he experienced as a child led him to imagine a Gegenwelten, or parallel world, which for him was an unexamined zone between the “visible” and “invisible” sides of the human condition. Therefore, Einhoff’s figures all have a kind of bounded glamour, they may have blurred features or mutilated bodies, the artist uses the expression of “alienation” to create still life-like figures, so that they always have a sense of detachment from the picture space.
Dr. Werner Hofmann, an eponymous art historian, has called Einhoff one of the most innovative and experimental artists, for he opened up new territories for a view on human boundaries. His works exhibit a unique rigor and intensity, and he employs various media to “alienate” the facial features of his characters, rendering them “unrecognizable”. However, if one looks beyond the blurry, translucent veil, the perfect proportions of the characters’ facial features, the meticulous lines and forms, and the composition of color, the works reveal Einhoff’s profound academic background and extremely high level of artistic skills.
