Victoria Sewart from her art gallery on the Plymouth Barbican sends word of a new private viewing…
We warmly invite you to a Private View evening of Heidi Koenig’s dynamic oil paintings and prints, with some drinks and canapés on Friday 12th April from 6 – 8pm.
The gallery is very proud to have such a well known international artist exhibiting with us.
Having risen to the forefront of contemporary abstract printmaking, Heidi has become established as one of the most powerful artists to graduate from the Slade in the last decade with her works being sought after and exhibited all over the world and in the UK.
Heidi is influenced by the works of Helen Frankenthaler, Rothko and Matisse. Her main inspiration comes from travelling. In the past she has been to Africa, the Himalayas, and South East Asia; it is the every day colours, smells, sights and sounds, so rich in these places that come through in her energetic images.
More recently her inspiration comes from closer to home, Dartmoor and the coastline have become her main artistic resource.
“ Inspiration for individual pieces is driven purely by observation and physical experiences. When I set out to paint I don’t have a conscious view of how I want it to turn out – the images evolves as I paint, taking me back to the places that I have been and the sensory information that I have absorbed. “
Both Heidi and I would be delighted to see you.
Warmest wishes,
Victoria and Heidi
