plant
HD Seibt's first painterly works are small-format pictures, almost black or in shades of black, geometric shapes, shadowy, fleeting figurations, overall structures and symbolic abbreviations. Proximity to abstract expressionism ( Jackson Pollock , Mark Rothko , Robert Motherwell , Emil Schumacher , Wols ), which however was perceived as a dead end. Later, through the occupation with the painting Willem de Kooning , the drawings by Joseph Beuys , the expressive world of Edward Kienholz and above all the work of the artist group CoBrA , the figure comes to the fore in the works of HD Seibt, colors and shapes are understood as symbols . Several sculptural works are created. Through the study of Jean Dubuffet and Art Brut and the intensive examination of children's drawings, what HD Seibt describes in his own words as “psychological realism” emerged. It is about the representation of inner sensitivities and emotional ties or their respective negation, topics are loneliness, injury, sexuality, losses, ties etc. The figures are deliberately childlike, reduced and sparingly created, the interaction of colors and shapes / figures results in him The result is perceived situations that elude a clear linguistic interpretation.
