Gerhard Mevissen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gerhard Mevissen (born August 27, 1956) is a German artist whose main emphasis is on painting with watercolor and recently also the production of reliefs made of concrete.
Having studied theology in Bonn ( (Germany)) Gerhard Mevissen was trained in social pedagogy and art therapy. Since 1976 Mevissen has started to focus on drawing and water color painting; in 1978/79 he produced drawings during a six-month lasting stay in Madrid. Hereby, his devotion to art became even stronger so that in 1999 he became an autonomous artist.
