The following pages will give you an impression of the works of the visual artist Dieter Fricke in the form of photographs. You will also find a lot of information about the artist and his works in text form.
1991 Beginning of abstract painting based on the flow of movement of a person's hands when signing words, sentences and texts until today I create again and again paintings, sculptures, photographs etc. on this subject and on the subject ‘The visible invisible’. My works are always based on themes from the world of the deaf. I remain true to myself because I am deaf myself and know how we deaf people live. So I show the hearing our world in an artistic way to give them access to it. My wish for the future is that deaf people and hearing people approach each other even more. Deaf people must not lead a life isolated from hearing people. We are able to lead an independent life if we get the help we need. But for me, help does not mean paternalism. Deafness is not synonymous with debility. For this reason, I will continue to present my work to the public at every possible opportunity and therefore hope for a lot of support from important representatives of public life.
