"Art is, to set an example" - has once put it Otmar Alt as an artistic theme .
Otmar Alt (born 1940) has put such signs, plentiful, varied and in many forms. His image and form language is unmistakable. For decades, he is one of the most renowned contemporary artists.

Otmar Alt shows itself as one that is free from the influence of taste and which also takes the liberty to release the art from their elitist ivory tower and make it so each at any time.
"Art comes from the herald," he said - meaning not only the effect of an artwork to the viewer, but also the special responsibility of the artist: to reach art has to a large audience, they must be for everyone, regardless of social status and financial status, be reachable.
For him, it therefore goes without saying - and not breaking a taboo - to market his art, and to assign their functionality, so each Man in the artwork included with, in that he can use it functionally. Therefore, the exhibition includes such diverse objects such as watches, art and screen prints, cookbooks, a coloring book for children, sculptures made of crystal glass (made by Rosenthal), etching and high-quality acrylic on canvas paintings, including specially created for this exhibition.
Otmar Alt, his personal artistic vocabulary developed: Bright colors, flat shapes filled, black contour lines.
His imagery is characterized by fantastic elements, it is strange being there, mixing and mythical creatures such as "Kammäugler", or "Lippenschnäbler. Here is a carefree world that may sometimes even seem childlike and playful. Here is nothing but childish with unobstructed, open view of the world take in and they reveal a sense, too. Children and fools speak the truth, they say, and alts hybrid creatures, the cats, the clowns, the artists are ultimately representations that can smile to us all, because you can find in yourself and because, as it posits the artist "imagination, wit, charm, lust and sensuality" represent.
