His works are about lust for life, the finiteness of life, his own experiences of threat, but also about resilience.<\/p>\n\n<p>Ten thematic focal points guide visitors through the approximately 400 works in the exhibition, which features numerous large-format panel paintings as well as multi-part series of small-format works on paper from the 1990s to the present day. Their titles \u2013 <em>Auraautoren, Erz\u00e4hlung am Boden, Kleid, Schmerz, Seelen, St. Paul, Tuschen, \u00dcbungen zur Verwunderung, Wasser and<\/em> <em>Vorrat.
