Rainer Fetting studied at the 'Hochschule der Künste' in Berlin from 1972 to 1978 and founded the Galerie am Moritzplatz together with Helmut Middendorf, Salomé und Bernd Zimmer while he was still master student. He is regarded one of the main representatives of the "Jungen Wilden". On a DAAD scholarship Fetting went to New York in 1978, where lived on and off until 1994. In the Americam metropolis Fetting created paintings which, among others, show homeless people and black nudes, thus making American urban subcultures theme of his art. Fetting's isolated nudes from those days, just as the strong but yet discouraged Indian - encounter the observer as striking allegories of loneliness and beauty. [JS].
