the machine age II Drawing

Stefan Heyer and his gestural abstracts are an exploration of histories, both personal and shared, and are inspired by pop culture, esoteric and philosophical issues of our postmodern digital age alienation, nature and history in general. Coming from a working-class background, his journey to a career in the arts was not born of privilege, but of passion. Experiencing the DIY Attitude of the 80s and 90s, it was this aesthetic underground rather than through academic training that has developed Stefan Heyer’s style and consciousness of art. After a career in streetfashion as an art and creative director he went full time artist in 2008. His works are extremely layered, as he drips paint, scrawls words on the canvas, and mixes mediums including oil and acrylic paints, crayon, pencil, marker, and photo transfer. He describes his process as a combination of the intuitive physicality of highly energetic trance-like strokes and mark makings and a more cerebral highly conscientious process. It’s this masterful blend of spontaneity and premeditation that give Heyer’s abstract pieces their intriguing complexity. (Gallery MAR, Utah) For these work i used a beautiful handmade Büttenpaper, which was crafted from leftovers of cotton in an 2000 year old tradition which makes the paper very resistent from aging. The text reads "die Götter weichen, die Ziffern dringen vor" in german, which means loosely tranlated "The gods give way, the digits advance" / "The gods are being pushed away, the digits advance". I want to pull a universal string. Signed on front. i send out rolled in a tube, unframed. The picture shows the possibility of hanging the work in an object frame which is available at every art supplies store, it also looks great for sure in a regular frame.
