heckert
Michael Heckert is a contemporary German painter dedicated to abstract expressionism. The artist depicts and describes the phenomenon of womanhood. He was influenced by the American artist Willem de Kooning.
Michael Heckerth's first exhibition was held in 1982 at Heinz Holtmann Gallery in Cologne and was deemed a success. His desire for limitless expression led in 1984 to a change in the style of his paintings: he turned away from semi-figurative paintings and tried to materialise his mode of expression in abstract painting.
In early 2007, Heckert moved to Port-au-Prince, where he faced new experiences and challenges. Local art, which is predominantly related to Voodoo and the everyday life of the Haitian people, increasingly inspires his work.
