André Schulze

André Schulze (1982) is an artist and painting conservator from Dresden, Germany who specializes in the restoration and remodeling of old paintings. He studied fine arts at Dresden University of Fine Arts. The artist uses old paintings, often saved from disposal, found in antique and thrift stores or given to him by collectors. The artist thoroughly restores the frequently badly damaged old paintings before he continues to layer them with his own painted contemporary imagery, mixing in subtle humor and attention to detail. Through the restoration of the artworks and his modern interpretation, he sees his process as a second life for forgotten artworks. From the conscious reuse of materials to the renewed chance at a captive audience for the artwork, the artist relocates the worlds in the paintings to our present moment in layers that extend beyond the painted surface.
