Dorothee Kuhbandner was born Dorothee Friedrich in 1964, grew up in a sheltered environment and went her own way. Since childhood, she has expressed herself through images and processed experiences, feelings and thoughts in colour and form.
The content of her work is not always apparent at first glance. ‘What are you trying to say with the picture? What does it represent?’ she is often asked. It is difficult to give a simple answer, because words are not her medium – she paints.
‘Dorothee Kuhbandner’s style often seems magically expressive and cannot be pigeonholed. The bright colours and untamed strokes in which the figures take shape are remarkable. She jokingly refers to her style as “Dorealism”.’
— Heinz Weißflog († 2013)
‘It is the detours that lead a person to their goal the fastest; stages are and remain existential.’
— Thomas Gerlach, Radebeul
Dorothee Kuhbandner has had and continues to have many stages in her life: bookbinder, nurse, mother of four sons, gallery owner, manager… bon vivant. She did not study art and never allowed herself to be steered down a predetermined path. She paints as she pleases and has found her own style – and is happy with it.
