"Horst Gläsker belongs to that generation of Düsseldorf artists who, around 1980, took a stand against formal purism and against the overly rational abstraction of modern art and sought a way back to the fantastic and narrative in artistic expression.

Gifted with an ebullient talent for colour compositions of extreme iridescence and luminosity, for the decorative and the ornamental, Gläsker soon created his own unmistakable style..."
