Klaus Jörres studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Maastricht, the Netherlands, as well as photography and video at the University of the Arts Berlin, Germany, in the class of Professor Katharina Sieverding. Since then, he has received international recognition with various exhibitions, residencies and awards, including the Goslar Kaiserring Scholarship in 2004.
The basic element of his paintings is the grid, which is considered a defining formal principle of modernist visual languages. In his works, grids always reveal their conceivable past as line patterns in a different way, just as line patterns reveal their possible future as grids. Based on digital image designs he creates the stylized form of a picture carrier covered with colour in the usual cross-hatching. Shifts, rotations, superimpositions and cut outs of the linear structures develop image interferences and quasi-narrative forms into ever new images, which move back and forth between technical image interference and abstract image space.
