| Born
in 1964, Heidi Koenig rose to the forefront of
contemporary abstract printmaking in 2002 and
is one of the strongest artists to graduate from
the Slade in the last decade. Influenced by the
works of Frankenthaler, Rothko and Matisse, Heidi
Koenig is largely inspired by travel, particularly
in the developing world; Africa, the Himalayas
and South East Asia. The rich melange of colours,
smells, sights and sounds emerge through her enigmatic
and energetic images.
A recent move to the South West
of England brought her inspiration closer to home
and Heidi Koenig’s main artistic resource
is now Dartmoor and the coastline.
‘I live my life passionately,
even impulsively and yet at the same time I take
measured steps and considered decisions. My work
reflects this attitude to living. 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 point of how
I want it to turn out – the image evolves
as I paint, taking me back to the places that
I have been and the sensory information that I
have absorbed, allowing me to express my visual
responses to these experiences.’
Heidi Koenig’s prints and
paintings are sought after all over the world
and widely exhibited throughout the UK. She has
works in numerous private collections and corporate
institutions in the UK, Europe and Japan.
