Thilo Heinzmann (1969, Germany) is an important voice in a generation of German painters questioning the medium of painting and its history. He is known for his inventive, precise, and expressive works. 

Heinzmann distributes colour on the canvas through manually performed movements of pigment, employing various instruments, his hands and subtle streams of air. The chromatic intensity of loose pigments, the reflections of broad brushstrokes, the traces of speedily inscribed hand movements, and the luminosity of sprinkled coloured glass vibrate in overlapping layers to form a captivating visual space. 

Heinzmann’s work intensifies the visual experience and invites the viewer to envision aesthetic essentials such as composition, surface, form, colour, light, texture, and time. Complex in their dynamics and engaging in their gestural precision, his paintings are one thing above all: seductively free.
