Ohlendorff-Art by Ole Ohlendorff

Ole Ohlendorff (*1958) is an internationally known freelance painting artist who has been working on the portrait series "Dead Rock Heads" since 1996. Behind the title is a painterly homage to deceased musicians from many genres and generations. From Johnny Cash to Udo Jürgens, from Tom Petty to Amy Winehouse. Music meets art - an attitude to life meets a culture of remembrance.

But why not also set a monument to the living? Those who were posthumously carved in stone can just as easily find their way onto the canvas ante mortem. And so, since 2013, under the name "Rock Legends Alive", portraits of musicians such as Keith Richards (The Rolling Stones), Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top), Neil Young, Ozzy Osbourne (Black Sabbath), Udo Lindenberg, Paul McCartney (The Beatles) and many more have been delighting the numerous visitors to the painter's exhibitions, which are as popular as they are sought after.
