An artist who draws inspiration from the intricacies of energy will display his work November 15 at the Center for Energy Education.

Klaus Beckold, a Lake Gaston artist, will have his work displayed from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the center, which is located at 460 Airport Road in Roanoke Rapids.

The event is free and open to the public.

Beckhold describes his work as abstract expressionism and will feature his works Photons and Dark Matter, Emotional Forces, Exhilaration and Fusion.

Critics have noted his work shows creativity, power and proficiency.

“The center is a place where people can gather to learn, grow and experience clean energy through a boldly colorful lens,” said Mozine Lowe, Center for Energy Education executive director. “Please join us as we share this new perspective of our mission.”

Beckold is an architect, designer, entrepreneur, and artist who was born in Lower Saxony Germany near the city of Hanover. 

He lived and thrived there until 1996, when he moved to the United States. He became a permanent resident in 1996.

His achievements include a decorated career in the German military. He is the recipient of the Dipl.Ing  of Architecture in Germany. 

He served an extensive career in the German Public Administration before transitioning into the public sector, where he created a thriving environmental management company. 

He then built a successful construction business in Germany, and again in the United States in the early 90’s, which he maintains to this day. 

Beckold has been a licensed pilot and a Free Masson. 

Beckold’s work has been shown at venues in Hanover Germany and Atlanta. It has been reviewed in Humanist Magazine, and by the Pegasus Art Organization. 

The art critic and journalist Jerns Oberheide said of his art, “No criticism, but high respect. In your abstract work you show creativity, power and proficiency.”
