Emanuel Seitz Biography

Colour and composition are the emphasis of Emanuel Seitz's paintings. Reducing painting to its simplest vocabulary, his works are a celebration of paint and spatiality. Each colour is created from a pure pigment and is added to the canvas in corresponding blocks. The painted marks are then applied on top in free-flowing brush strokes in which one can see the influence of his time studying directly under Günther Förg.

It is this contrast, between the background and the overlaying marks, that gives the power and balance to these compositions. His artistic process is thus relieved of structural and compositional constraints as colour itself is the essence of form in his paintings. Emotion is an afterthought in his process yet his harmonious combinations allow the colours to sing, provoking an immediate visual reaction. While Seitz's paintings seem simple, the chromatic combinations are deeply considered, presented in an elegant interplay between the homogeneous and the indistinct.

Emanuel Seitz studied at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts between 1996 and 2002. He has since lived and worked in Germany, exhibiting regularly throughout Europe. He is widely collected with works represented in major collections including the Lenbachhaus and the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich.
