Daniel Richter
Daniel Richter was born in 1962 in Eutin, Germany. From 1991 to 1995, he studied at the Hamburg Academy of Fine Arts, where he met Martin Kippenberger and Werner Buttner.
In the 90s, Richter created abstract pieces characterized by intertangling structures and intensely colourful biomorphic forms between ornamentation and graffiti. By the beginning of the 2000s, the artist turned to figurative painting, introducing mythical creatures into his abstract compositions. His works refer to classical and contemporary art, to the realities of modern society, politics, and mass media — he translates them into the metaphorical language of his painting. The works of this decade were presented at the artist's solo exhibition at OVCHARENKO (until 2018 — Regina).
In the mid-10s, after a break, Richter returned to work and created abstractions that were significantly different from his early period. Сomposition elements were enlarged, forms — often close to anthropomorphic — were juxtaposed against a plain background.
Nowadays, Richter is one of the most prominent German painters: he was exhibited at the Pompidou Center, the Saatchi Gallery,;created scenery for performances and operas, in particular — for the opera Lulu staged by Vera Nemirova; gave lectures at the Berlin University of Arts and the Academy of Arts in Vienna.

ZDRAVSTVUYTE!
Group exhibition 26 Jul - 7 Sep 2023OVCHARENKO presents a new collective project in the framework of co-operation with the auction house VLADEY. The name of the exhibition of OVCHARENKO artists "HELLO!" (ZDRAVSTVUYTE!) has a double meaning. The complexity and at the same time the beauty of the Russian language allows you to find in the simple word "Hello!" both a wish of good health and a greeting at a meeting. And the meeting at the exhibition will be held with marvelous artists and their works of art.Read more
For 33 years of his work OVCHARENKO, while the first exhibition of the gallery (then called "Regina") was held in September 1990, 278 group and solo exhibitions were held. In religion "33 years" are the age of Jesus Christ — the time of perfection, the period of life when the peak has been reached. Christ's rebirth occurred at the same time when he was 33, so " HELLO!" (ZDRAVSTVUYTE!).
Vladimir Ovcharenko, founder of VLADEY and OVCHARENKO: "The time in our country and in the world is not easy. And when was it easy? It is very complicated for artists now. Their world has completely changed. For many of them it has turned out to be tragic, while others continue to create magnificent works of art. We are happy to represent the best of the best, it is a great honour and responsibility. Moscow is a world-class cultural centre. And it always will be. It deserves new great art exhibitions. And they are coming!".
Over the last year and half OVCHARENKO in co-operation with VLADEY has frequently presented personal exhibitions of its artists, among them projects made by Alisa Gorshenina, Sergey Zarva, Alexey Kallima, Pavel Pepperstein and the PPSS art group, Ivan Razumov, Inal Savchenkov, Leonid Tshe and Nestor Engelke.
