Axel Krause

Axel Krause, born 23 October 1958 in Halle (Saale), is a German painter and graphic artist.

Typical for the New Leipzig School, Krause paints figurative subjects with mysterious and surreal elements and uses collage techniques.

His interiors, landscapes and atmospheric scenes have been compared to American realists such as Edward Hopper.

[3] Krause is sympathetic to the far-right German political party AfD.

In 2018 the Leipzig art dealership Galerie Kleindienst announced that it would no longer represent Krause due to his political views.
