Axel Heibel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Heibel's wall object

Axel Heibel (born September 23, 1943 in Oberlahnstein ) is a German object artist .

Work and career

The main feature of Axel Heibel's work is the reduction and a wide range of different media possibilities. Since 1976 he has been creating book objects that were presented at Documenta 6 . To this day, he is fascinated by the idea of ​​changing the pages of the book. He always tries to change the boundaries of the usual book form or to question them. In addition, he reflects on leafing through, reading and looking at in his books. The consistency of the scrolling is often changed or even hindered. The reader / viewer has to find different ways of looking and appropriating the book object.

The illustration on the right, the so-called “assemblage”, is not such, as it is a book object that was created from the individual sheets of the book block by cutting and folding. The individual sheets can be folded by the viewer, i. H. be constructed three-dimensionally. The book can be closed completely after viewing. In the first few years Heibel often used the folding of the book pages. As a result, the viewer / user is actively involved in the reading process.

The unique pieces show different approaches to painting , drawing , stamp printing , spraying, folding and cutting. The three-dimensional aspect of his books is in the foreground and shows through the changing interventions in the book block. He has also been using photography since the early 1980s .

At the same time, the artist dealt with reduced painting from 1975 to 1996. The effect and appearance of color and non-color has been his main topic since 1996. He translates the dialogue between light and color into wall objects that present the glow of reduced color and plasticity.
