Thilo Heinzmann

Press release

Thilo Heinzmann’s Keep On, his fourth solo exhibition with neugerriemschneider, features a selection of the artist’s sand paintings, the results of a new technique presented here following the release of his most recent monograph. With this latest development in his engagement with composition, texture and color, Heinzmann inverts the white of his pigment paintings, transforming it to black - a non-color that suspends sand and fragments of glass between subtractive gestures and upon black-on-black impasto applications - summoning a reflective, ever-shifting depth. For these works, he takes as precedent his past three decades of creation and of painterly investigation into his medium’s antagonisms and its fusions, its concepts and its process, its chaos and its precision, its traditions and its evolutions. With reductionism and restraint, Heinzmann imbues his works’ elements with dualities that at once build upon and question one another.
