“Mobility seems to be one reason for the diverse interests reflected in my painting. Distance must be covered, experience gathered and processed. Even if new challenges are tackled slowly and tentatively, or sometimes remain open-ended, I am very grateful for the opportunities and insights that painting offers me. I am convinced that movement, whether physical or mental, promotes empathy and tolerance, and that these virtues are essential for a functioning society.” - Robert Seidel

Robert Seidel (1983, DE), lives and works in Leipzig, Germany. He studied painting at HGB Leipzig under the mastership of Neo Rauch. Seidel’s paintings enjoy an enthusiastic following in The Netherlands, Germany, and outside, and are part of numerous renowned private and public collections worldwide. Even though all works by Seidel start with observation, they are far from mere depictions. Every shape, no matter if it is a logo or a vast architectural structure, is analytically considered and relieved from its original context before being reconstructed into Seidel’s geometrical painting style.
