Magnus Plessen

Magnus Plessen (born 1967) is a German painter known for his distinctive figurative works that reduce the human form to fragmented, flattened silhouettes rendered in muted, earthy tones. His paintings often explore themes of identity, the body, and human relationships, employing a restrained palette and gestural mark-making that straddles figuration and abstraction. Plessen has exhibited internationally and is recognized as a significant voice in contemporary German painting.
