Stephanus Heidacker

1959 born in Ostercappeln near Osnabrück

1979 studies painting at the HBK Braunschweig with Hermann Albert and Peter Voigt

lives and works in Berlin and Chicago

With his teacher Hermann Albert hwe shares the love for Greek mythologie and architecture. His favorite subjet matter is as well the nude, his model the French painter Poussin. His approach to painting is thoroughly thought out, his aim is to reenvoke the golden ages of Greece mythologie and French enlightenment in a most subjective way , so that these values might be applicable to our times. His whole approach is centered around the question« what is all this and how is it caracterized«, thus inviting the viewer to look at things with leisure, to reinvent human tales today, that remind us of the beloved Greek tales of the past.
