Harald Erath
(German, b. 1984. Lives and works in Zurich)
Harald Erath earned his BA in Fine Arts from the Academy of Fine Arts (AdBK) Stuttgart and a Master’s degree in Fine Arts/Stage and Costume Design from the University of the Arts (KH) Berlin.
His practice is rooted in traditional craftsmanship, working with hand prepared egg tempera, a historic technique that demands precision and patience. In an era defined by digitalization and speed, his process acts as a deliberate counterpoint, emphasizing slowness, material integrity, and the physical act of painting. His work engages cultural historical and societal themes that remain highly relevant today.
Harald has participated in numerous group exhibitions in Stuttgart and Berlin, including Kunsthalle am Hamburger Platz and the TEDDY Award Berlin. His solo exhibitions have taken place in venues such as Galerie Meyer Riegger, Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden, Haus der Kallistik, Atelier Peter Nitz, CoinCoin, and Material in Zurich.
