Suzhou 2025 - Qu Art Museum - Splashing

Splashing – Suzhou 2024 – Qu Art Museum

It begins with bubbling colors and a man who is increasingly pursued by colours that splash onto house facades and by rivulets of colour that follow him like lava. The man hurries and stumbles on, looking around and behind him as if he feels pursued. The thriller intensifies. A brief stop at the subway, then it continues at breakneck speed through the streets of Berlin. He staggers and keeps running, stops briefly in the sunny park of Pfaueninsel, this beautiful jewel of the former Prussian imperial court far out on Wannsee, and runs on. The colours pursue him ever more intensely. Finally, he enters a studio, narrowly escaping the splashes of paint on the outside wall. But here, inside the studio, there are countless pots of paint, tubes of paint lying wildly on top of each other and a first moment of pleasant calm. He takes a short breath and then picks up a lump of brightly mixed paint. He holds it as if he is weighing up what to do with this dazzling pound…. You can already guess that the lump of paint will be hurled onto the still unfinished canvas leaning against the studio wall: onto this field of infinite possibilities, where the colours will cavort and spread out dynamically.

Künstlerportrait Sebastian Heiner – Axel Feuß

Sebastian Heiner ist zur figürlichen Malerei zurückgekehrt, ob vorübergehend oder dauerhaft, muss sich erst noch zeigen. In seinem neuesten Statement bezeichnet er das Figürliche als Zwischenstadium und Übergang zur Abstraktion. Dennoch ist gerade seit 2018 eine beachtliche Serie mittelformatiger und wandfüllender Gemälde entstanden, auf denen Figuren geometrisch gegliederte Bildflächen beherrschen. Sie marschieren aufeinander zu, fallen übereinander, zeigen sich in herrschaftlichen Posen oder recken verzweifelt die Arme empor. Auf Heiners Webseite bilden diese Gemälde unter dem Label „Figurativ“ eine eigene Werkgruppe.

Beyond Paradise – Jenseits des Paradieses – Axel Feuß

Figurative or abstract – Sebastian Heiner has yet to decide on an issue which has polarised art in the 20th century. Since the early 1990s, he has painted groups of highly abstract figures who communicate with one other with vehemence and sweeping gestures, figures from all imaginable social layers, in periods ranging from mythological times to the present, and from indeterminate regions of the world.

Moloch City – Prologue by Audrey Hörmann

When artists travel, they take their special view of the world along in their baggage. The painter Sebastian Heiner has traversed the globe a number of times with trips to Israel, Jordan and the Caucasus. On a number of occasions, he was able to combine his travels with prolonged work orientated stays in cities such as Bangkok, Beijing and Shanghai.

Food – Nahrung

The world was never the same after the Great Food Reform. Everything’s changed radically. The earth’s cities glitter, blink and shine in bizarre, wild, dazzling, colours. Science took a Giant Leap one hundred years ago.

Cicadas – Zikaden

Riding the orange bikes under the plane trees is enchanting! A constant singing, whirring, shimmering, accompanies me. Are the vibrant sounds of the cicadas trying to seduce me?

Cat – Katze

I push aside the heavy, brown curtains. The glare of daylight blinds me. The air conditioner whirs loudly. I look at the block of flats opposite. Some residents have strung their colourful laundry out to dry on rusty iron bars.

Colour – Farbe

Colours mix and gather on the canvas, celebrating a fabulous party! A deep black blotch forces me to stop. Is not it wiser to act calmly, without agitation?

The Voice – Die Stimme

A whisper, soft and insistent, talks to me, burying into my sub-conscious, my thought processes are confused, I see an unknown space in the sky, a narrow strip of light, I am flying in a dream, clouds float, driven by the wind, white mountains tower higher and higher.
