Biography
Immo Jalass (1938, Hamburg, Germany) is a German artist known for his transition from traditional painting to digital art. Over several decades, his work has evolved from drawings and oil paintings to computer-generated compositions, reflecting a continuous exploration of artistic mediums. Jalass initially focused on traditional art forms, creating detailed drawings and oil paintings. During the 1960s, his work gained recognition through exhibitions in Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Spain. His early exhibitions included shows at Bauzentrum Hamburg (1962), Galerie Bürdeke in Zürich (1965), and Kunstcentrum T’Venster in Rotterdam (1968). By the late 1960s, his practice expanded beyond painting, incorporating serial works, conceptual projects, and mixed-media objects, which he presented in exhibitions such as Op losse schroeven at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam (1969). After stepping away from the art world for a period, Jalass returned in the 2000s, embracing digital technology as his primary medium. His digital paintings, often characterized by intricate abstract forms and dynamic color compositions, marked a new phase in his artistic journey. He exhibited these works in Amsterdam, with notable shows at Vijzelgracht 45 (2010), Galerie Plein 7 (2010), and RadaЯ - Architecture & Art (2011). His digital prints and sculptures continued to be featured in exhibitions, including Pop up 2013: Don't make me angry and a solo show at Kulter (2012).
