Per Gernhardt was born in Posen in 1941.

1967 Studies at the Hochschule für bildende Künste, Berlin, with Prof. Dörries.

The artist has lived in Wendland since 1980.

Gernhardt has developed a personal subtle style of realism, which always keeps the possibilities of viewing the observed environment open. He is characterised as a painter of light and air, who lays a filter of colour over the chosen details and thus creates a poetic atmosphere.
