~ Lutz Schernek - Painter ~
"A painter should not paint what he sees, but what will be seen".

Born in Germany and immigrated to the United States when he was very young, Lutz Scherneck spent most of his life growing up in the Mohawk Valley region of upstate New York. He graduated in 1976 from Syracuse University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting.

Abstraction implies a departure from reality. Lutz's artwork starts from real-life experience, but it is never his intention to fool the viewer into thinking that it is in any way an illustration of nature. By not trying to deceive the viewer in this manner, his paintings become more real than abstract.

Lutz does not paint subjects; he paints paintings.
