Jårg GeismarGermany

Jårg Geismar (b.  1958 in Burgsvik, SE, † 2019 in Essen, DE) He lived and worked in New York, Tokyo, and Düsseldorf.

He is an extraordinary good-natured, generous artist. His resources of positive energy exceed his needs by far, and so he shares his energy: with his art that fills spaces with lightness while being extremely fragile and glassy, so it seems they could fly away at any moment. And he shares his energy with his fellow human beings and the viewers of his art, all who can get convinced: the good is still existent.

Geismar studied at the Staatliche Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, where he completed his degree as a Meisterschüler in 1986, followed by an MFA from The New School of Social Research, Parsons School of Design in New York in 1988. His work has been featured in solo exhibitions at institutions such as Jiri Svestka Gallery in Prague (2007), TZR Gallery Kai Brückner in Düsseldorf (2014), and C&H Art Space in Amsterdam (2009). He also exhibited at venues like the MAC Museum of Contemporary Art in Marseille (2014) and the Museum of Fine Arts in Split (2019). Geismar’s works are represented in public collections, including the Musashino Library Museum in Tokyo and the Kunstpalast in Düsseldorf.
