Görg began his professional career as a painter and printmaker in 1977, winning awards and critical acclaim along the way. Before long, his work was becoming popular the world over, with sell out shows in Germany, North America and Great Britain. There is a strong tradition in Germany for figurative art with erotic overtones and Jürgen's work forms part of a new generation of artists in this area. He has said of his work "The predominant subject is the human body; it is the body of the young, slim, beautiful person. The face remains vague; the gestures are those of free motion. Everything concentrates on the body language and the erotic radiation of the figures." Görg uses a cast of lovers, dancers, musicians and masked characters. Depicting them in translucent layers of soft colour, shading is subtle, white highlights focus our attention. These idealised, loosely rendered figures suggest the timeless and eternal. Görg who feels that "something should always be left open" cultivates this elusive quality. Jürgen's paintings, prints and sculpture are much sought after. His technical accomplishment and his ability to reproduce the moving figure so sensitively make his work irresistible to his many collectors.
