Heinz Sterzenbach - Visual Universes
Mixed Media, Painting
The serie "Visual Universes" in which I set out myself experiment-joyfully with otherwise in such a way the value destroying corrosion and from this compiled artistic works full of mysticism, finesse and poetry. I try again and again consciously to capture the charm of these contrasts, and to create an ambience from the interaction of material, structure, motive and colors to a contemplative effect. The representation of nature processes with these pictures is from timeless topicality. So, as there is in nature however nothing, what repeats itself accurately identically, then resembles in the series of "Visual Universes" no structure with another. The first part of the series has still partially realistic motives, which are surrealistic or like science fiction. The last part of the series is done without realistic motives and takes effect purely by forms and colors. One approaches automatically more near to the picture, in order to go on a discovery journey: Which hides itself behind these sensitive structures and the rhythm. As the weights are distributed on the surface and in the gaps of the individual forms. Some pictures I supported the developed inner forms by black color, so that the interesting lines, which nature gave, were emphasized. One can call this work method coincidence with calculation. As my shining example Max Ernst, who affected me time of my life very much, I have also used nature in my frottages, decalcomanias, imprimiturs, collages, ferroprints and other evocative picture procedures.
