Hartmut Kiewert
Hartmut Kiewert, Crossing V. 2023
© Hartmut Kiewert, Crossing V. 2023 / Graphics: Bernhard Rose
The theme of Hartmut Kiewert's artistic work is thinking about the history, forms, possibilities and future of the relationship between humans and animals. Starting from the utopian idea of peaceful and equal coexistence, the painter develops social images whose deeper meaning is the visualization of a utopia in which animals are no longer objects of an exploitative practice from the point of view of marketing, but rather they become subjects of a changed and emancipatory world order.
Behind this seemingly romantic idea is the critical examination of power structures and their mechanisms. Hartmut Kiewert's large-format oil paintings are not only created in the awareness that our human attitude towards the animal world must radically change, but also that the repression of our predominantly economized and alienated treatment of animals should be countered by positive narratives.
Hartmut Kiewert (* 1980 in Koblenz) studied painting and graphics at the University of Art and Design, Burg Giebichenstein in Halle from 2003 to 2010, where he graduated with distinction.
The artist lives and works in Leipzig.
In cooperation with Galerie KK Klaus Kiefer, Essen.
With the kind support of the district funding fund
the Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion.
