Born in Salzburg, Austria in 1981, Heinz Seidenbusch moved to Vienna in 2000 to pursue his diverse career as designer, illustrator, artist and musician.
Inspired by Surrealism and Cubism, in 2005 he began to paint and draw using his predominantly self-taught and multidisciplinary style.
Later moved on to informal or abstract Expressionism. In his illustrative animal depictions(2013)he projected the joys and pains of human existence, his graphic works derived from a surreal dream world motif; seeing life as a mystery and that mystery as a resource of hope. His drawings matured, characterized by his work as a textile designer and illustrator to motif supported, surreal, fairytale-like narratives, always flirting with the abstract. Witty and charming on a large scale; profound and dark on paper with ink. Day and night and all the desires in between: love and sin.
In 2016 the collection would become more of a reality through the conviction of true expression, more often than not distinguished with age, just like the hand of a child whose tendency for the abstract and surrealistic aspect is explored.
Man is lost in the calculated complexity of this irritating artificial world. In a concise and dynamic style, he utilizes the entire spectrum in subtle gradations to bring a completed temporal succession. In his city display dynamically defined surfaces come into contact with contours in the form of split resolutions. Exaggerations demand a high standard from the eye of the beholder, turning the observer into the observed. The viewer contemplates the artistic development process and in return by looking at the picture, envisions his own image of a real place he’s been before. Luminous, spacious, often repeatedly found designs, expressionistically vibrant. Contrary to the academic course, which promotes a strict and formal work, Heinz experiments with colors, lines, and surfaces. He shifts into different styles with an evident ease, seemingly torn between an intellectual modern era and a manual know-how. Whimsical, fantastic, and bizarre like an intense dream.
