Thilo Heinzmann: Bird of Prey Says No Grey
Bird of Prey Says No Grey is Thilo Heinzmann鈥檚 sixth solo exhibition at Heinrich Ehrhardt Gallery. The title鈥檚 play on words, which metaphorically alludes to birds of prey, raises some concepts related to the artist鈥檚 pictorial imagination, such as colour, speed, air and flight. Like the fluttering of a bird鈥檚 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鈥檚 choices of material and colour 鈥搃n this case pigments on canvas鈥� 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鈥檚 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.
