Both artists are legendary in their own right within the Leipzig art scene. Hartwig Ebersbach had already campaigned for the establishment of an independent painting class whilst he was a student at the HGB Leipzig. This was initially established by Bernhard Heisig as a class in colour design (1961/1962). Hartwig Ebersbach is a master of colour, format and spatiality who is keen to experiment. His works are exhibited internationally; he lives in Leipzig.
Frieder Heinze was, amongst other things, a co-initiator of the 1st Leipzig Autumn Salon (1984), one of the most significant unofficial exhibitions in the GDR. He lives and works outside externally controlled systems – then as now – and deliberately keeps his distance from the hustle and bustle. Together with the ceramicist Claudia Rückert, he has created his own universe on a farm in Leisnig.
“A free, poetic expression of the world” – this is how Frieder Heinze describes the essence of art. This is precisely what this conversation will focus on: the significance and possible forms of artistic expression, the licence of the fool, friendships, and interdependencies and independence within the art world.
