Publisher Note english german
Heiko Blankensteins (*1970) obsessive drawings and lightboxes with their figurative imagery and multiple narrative levels can be seen in a tradition of outsider artists such as Henry Darger. This full color catalog gives an overview over the major works of the last years and additionally shows fascinating details.
Heiko Blankenstein “places his own work into existing iconography. Not all motives derive from the author himself, but instead converge as a result of unrestricted combinatorics, embedding studies of nature as well as art history in a new state of aggregation. Astronomical and alchemist illustrations of early modern times have devised their genotype in them, depictions of cosmologic models, the prospectus of old master landscapes, interior spaces of historic examples of architecture. Visionary solar systems overlap treetops, while their gnarled trunks, like models of a seismogrphic survey, disband any expectation of nature Heiko Blankenstein.” (Isabel Zürcher)
