Reiner Heidorn is a german neo-expressionist, lives in Germany next to Munich. If you ask the Weilheim artist Reiner Heidorn about his understanding of himself as an artist, he will say: “Painting to me means literally pushing oil paint across the canvas, shaping it in such a way that, with or without figuration, the result is a harmonious pictorial whole that does not show an artist’s characteristic manner and, without any specific artist’s hand, covers the surface, the way a tree trunk is blanketed by the elements.” Heidorn’s work is characterized by a freedom in his approach that is perhaps only available to the self-taught.

Andy Dixon is hyper-aware of art’s relationship with money. Signifiers of wealth abound in his large acrylic paintings, which take as their subjects stately lords, reclining nudes, ornate ballrooms, bathing beauties, and prominent paintings of the aforementioned motifs. Borrowing content from Renaissance art, Flemish still lifes, and Google Image searches of "most expensive vases", his subject matter is selected on the basis of public expectation of what an expensive painting should look like.
My work is a visual record of the world around me; capturing those moments that have become rooted in my memory. I am not interested in replicating nature, but rather the bits and pieces that have struck a cord with me. I tend to work large, starting with bold black ink sketches that reference organic shapes. I then obscure parts with multiple layers of broken color.
