Biography
Stefan Ettlinger studied from 1980 to 1988 at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf at Alfonso Hüppi. He finished the Academy time in 1985 as a master student. As a result, he created his first films. He also staged performances at this time, composed music and was among others Member of AGZ (Anarchist padded cell). Other members of the (APC) are Thorsten Ebeling, Heinz Hausmann, Bertram Jesdinsky, Otto Müller, Ulrich Sappok.

In 2008 he was appointed Visiting Professor of Painting at the College Of Fine Art from Kyung -Hee University in Seoul, Korea. In the winter semester 2010/2011, he took a temporary professorship (Free graphic design and painting, Class Alexander Roob) at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart, Germany. In 2012, he participated in a two-month stay in Chongqing, China in the context of an artist's exchange program of the city of Düsseldorf. In 2013 he traveled again for several months to Chengdu (exchange program DCKD Düsseldorf) and Chongqing (China), to work artistically. There arose a variety of drawings on paper and hardboard.

Work
Since the 1980s, Stefan Etllinger painted many pictures with egg tempera. They show mostly sketchy, figurative or representational events. The image space is perceived as a dynamic whole in which can be several events from different time periods combined with each other on a surface. In the representation they act interlocking and overlapping. His templates are mostly film stills, photographs and self-made sketches. This he puts together a collage and edited the picturesque divergent perspectives and compares them with each other. The action levels are thereby horizontally or vertically separated from each other, but partly also provided in a common landscape context.

The scene -like moments can not decrypt the content. They remain open to interpretation and must be assembled by the viewer itself to narrative elements. In his way of working video clips, sound collages, performances, theatrical actions are included as well as his films. This reflects, inter alia, to including his experiences contradict with the Düsseldorf artist group Anarchist padded cell.
