About the Item
Stefan Heyer’s gestural abstracts delve into personal and collective histories, drawing inspiration from pop culture, esoteric philosophy, and the complexities of our postmodern digital world. His work explores themes of alienation, nature, and historical transformation, blending raw emotion with intellectual depth.
Raised in a working-class environment, Heyer’s artistic journey was fueled by passion rather than privilege. Influenced by the DIY ethos of the 1980s and 90s, he developed his artistic voice through underground aesthetics rather than formal academic training. Before dedicating himself fully to painting in 2008, he built a successful career in street fashion as an art and creative director.
Heyer’s works, held in private collections worldwide, are defined by their layered compositions, featuring dripped paint, expressive marks, and a fusion of mixed media, including oil and acrylic, crayon, pencil, marker, and photo transfer. His creative process merges instinctive, energetic strokes with thoughtful, deliberate execution, resulting in abstract pieces that are both spontaneous and meticulously constructed. This balance of intuition and precision lends his work a unique complexity, drawing viewers into a rich, expressive world.

Stefan Heyer is a german contemporary artist working in the baix empordà, catalunya, spain. Stefan Heyer and his gestural abstracts are an exploration of histories, both personal and shared, and are inspired by pop culture, esoteric and philosophical issues of our postmodern digital age alienation, nature and history in general. Coming from a working-class background, his journey to a career in the arts was not born of privilege, but of passion. Experiencing the DIY Attitude of the 80s and 90s, it was this aesthetic underground rather than through academic training that has developed Stefan Heyer’s style and consciousness of art. After a career in streetfashion as an art and creative director he went full time artist in 2008. Stefan Heyer’s works are extremely layered, as he drips paint, scrawls words on the canvas, and mixes mediums including oil and acrylic paints, crayon, pencil, marker, and photo transfer. He describes his process as a combination of the intuitive physicality of highly energetic trance-like strokes and mark makings and a more cerebral highly conscientious process. It’s this masterful blend of spontaneity and premeditation that give Heyer’s abstract pieces their intriguing complexity.

In the middle of the road

Dana Frankfort
In the middle of the road, 2017
oil on canvas over panel
48 x 48 x 1.75 inches
For over two decades, Dana Frankfort has explored the vexing periphery between language and sight by painting words. Rather than laying claim to the paintings, controlling their semiotic pulse, her words serve as the formal armature; they prop up, ventilate, and allow the many layers of paint to breathe. Imperatives, allusions, evocations—the words dissolve into a palimpsest of obscured serifs and stems, into color and form.
The title of the work is a phrase from a poem by Carlos Drummond de
Andrade’s “In the Middle of Road.” Here it is, translated from the Portuguese by Elizabeth Bishop...

Tapas Ghosal - Untitled - 12 x 12 inches ( unframed size) )
Acrylic on Canvas , 2022
*** Framed ( packing : complimentary; shipping cost would need to be extra)
Style : In Hindu philosophy, the 'Antahkaran' refers to the totality of two levels of mind , namely the Buddhi, the intellect or higher mind, and the Manas, the middle levels of mind which exist as or include the mental body. It refers to the entire psychological process, including mind and emotions. Ghoshal’s paintings weaves an Antahkaran, creating structural spaces, sometimes meditative & melancholic in nature. His contemplative mind, enters into the inner realm of reality, dissects it and extracts a kind of mystic silence.
The extant contemplative in wardress in him got charged with meditative spirituality through his association with this heritage city. Benaras, started flowing in his canvasses both through landscapes and human faces. Since 1995-96 his Benaras paintings started transforming. Initially his landscapes contained reflection of naturalness transformed through melancholic chiaroscuro. Gradually the naturalness started disintegrating into expressionistic structures. At a certain stage during 2004-05 some of these structures yielded into abstractions shedding all the links with naturalness. Then again the sign-symbols integrated into geometrical structures reflecting traces of original locations.
