THILO HEINZMANN – BIRD OF PREY SAYS NO GREY
2018-11-05The title’s play on words, which metaphorically alludes to birds of prey, raises some concepts related to the artist’s pictorial imagination, such as colour, speed, air and flight. Like the fluttering of a bird’s wings or their sonic and chromatic trail through the air, Heinzmann explores the juxtaposition of the relative nature of beauty and his conception of the universe.
Through the artist’s choices of material and colour –in this case pigments on canvas– in conjunction with composition and gesture, Heinzmann activates the coordinates of space and time in order that these become transformational keys of art. Matter is the fundamental tool both to initiating change and to offering a quality visible and latent in the works where space is concentration and expansion, while time is both eternal and transient, dynamic and static. The analytic-synthetic approach of Heinzmann’s work, its suspension and speed, allows us to discover a primary and collective language of colour and matter in motion, which echoes in these works with astounding resonance.
