Ekkahart Bouchon was born in Quedlinburg, Germany. His all round art studies under the artist and teacher Egon Ossig covered a wide range of artistic skills. However, he made his living as a mining engineer and later on in his career was director of the Department of Technology and the Environment in Hamburg. Since 1964 he has frequently held exhibitions in Germany and abroad. From 1993 onwards, he and his wife Dr. Nina Geling-Bouchon have been working in creative collaboration to establish intercultural ties, particularly with Russia. The artists Geling-Bouchon created the idea of “Variability in art” – a theme which runs through all their works. Together, they have held 22 exhibitions in Russia, Rumania, France, Lithuania and Germany. In both Germany and Russia, they have organised master classes, seminars, international festivals, the EU LOS-projects “Moscow – Hann. Munden”, as well as art therapy courses with children from kindergarten, regular schools and boarding schools for orphans. In 2003 the artist couple opened their non-commercial gallery – Galerie Dreiklang – in Hann. Münden. Exhibitions and concerts take place there regularly, and from Russia alone more than thirty artists and musicians have had the opportunity to perform or display their works
