Heinz Breloh "Die Anwesenheit des Bildhauers"
images more information
» deutsche version
I first presented the work of Heinz Breloh (1940-2001) in my gallery in 1991. To give insights into his sculptural approach, pieces from different work groups will be exhibited. A sequence of photographs in which Manfred Förster documented the creation of the life-sizes for a show at the Kunstmuseum Magdeburg in 1995 reveals Breloh’s performative working method. A basic feature in his cross-media oeuvre is the theme of figural presence and absence.

Hans-Jürgen Hafner (Kunstverein Düsseldorf) on the topicality of Heinz Breloh’s work:
“Owing less to immediacy than to the artistically consistent dealing with mediality and constructedness, the quality of Breloh’s works is based on how they unite aspects of direct presence and theatricality within the sculpture.
