Heinz Plank (born October 13, 1945 in Bad Elster ) is a German painter , draftsman and graphic artist .
life and work
After his apprenticeship as a commercial advertiser, he studied at the University of Graphic and Book Art in Leipzig with Werner Tübke and Wolfgang Mattheuer from 1967 to 1972 and was then a master student with Werner Tübke for a year . He then taught from 1973 to 1974 at the University of Applied Arts Sonneberg (today: Westsächsische Hochschule Zwickau , Department of Applied Arts Schneeberg) and one year to 1975 as a senior assistant at the University of Fine Arts in Berlin-Weißensee . Since 1976 he has been working freelance in Karl-Marx-Stadt / Chemnitz, and has lived and worked in Niederlichtenau near Chemnitz since 1996 . Plank traveled to Central Asia, Belgium, the Netherlands, Scotland, several times to Switzerland and Italy.
Plank works in painting techniques based on the old masters, mainly with colored oil glazes. His work is strongly influenced by the old Leipzig School , but artists from the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism , Francisco de Goya , Salvador Dalí, and painters of Italian Mannerism and Symbolism also inspired Plank in his work; elements of futurism and the expressiveness of Matthias Grünewald or El Greco also influence his formal climate. Plank's works could be characterized or described in more detail using art-historical terms such as magical-realistic, fantastic-realistic, metaphysical or surrealistic. He tries to present deeper overall views of an event as condensed results of a comprehensive world feeling, with symbols of danger accompanying the visual language.
His concern is not the external image, but the reflection of the "inner truth", but this with forms and structures of reality - "realism".
