The Rape of Europa Painting

Upon initial encounter with Steffen Kindt's art, one might surmise that he appears to be following in the footsteps of Pop Art. Pop may indeed serve as a basis or foundation for his work, however his masterful understanding and portrayal of various facets of the culture of the multitudes extends well beyond the fundamental underpinnings of his imagery. The female form in particular, pervasive in his compositions, often presented in stark elemental contrast with the immediate surroundings, has instant appeal that all can understand and identify with. Yes, indeed Kindt intentionally enlists the mysterious seductive beguiling ever-changing nature of femininity as the means whereby he delivers his message, to essay on that realm of perception that is uniquely his own.
