Heinz Martin Breuer

“Heinz Martin Breuer tells stories and asks questions about identity. He perceives identity as the core of individual being and source of expression. Living environment and cultural background are the context in which an identity forges an existence. This raises questions: are we and how do we change due to our surrounding? How many different mindsets or personalities embody one existence? What are common values or virtues and how do they translate into different societies?
After graduating as a Master Student of Joerg Immendorff in Duesseldorf, Breuer chose to live and work in China, where he believes to find the most friction, dynamics and isolation to distill answers to these questions.
His body of work consists of parallel series underlying different concepts, techniques and aesthetics -different “Artist-Egos” as he describes it.
This plurality he chose as a reaction to developments in the art world, where artists are getting limited to their trademark in order to be easily promoted and consumed.
