Move forward to nowhere Painting

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 combined a collaged images of a bird with gestural marks, using a beautiful handcut bütten paper. A snowy landscape with traces of birds in mind. Paintings are showing inner realities. I want to pull a universal string. Signed on front. i send out rolled in a tube, unframed.
