Marius Seidlitz
Marius Seidlitz is a contemporary painter based in Germany. His work explores the intricate nature of self-identity. He poses questions such as, "What constitutes beauty? Is perfection attainable?" His paintings navigate the boundary between abstraction and figuration, presenting deconstructed portraits that are formed from abstract shapes, curves, and shadows.
Marius Seidlitz's artistic practice is formally shaped in many ways: skill as an engraving master as well as from the precise approach of design and free creative use of oil paint.
His expressive images often spring from a diverse range of bodies that are deliberately imperfect. The viewer sees colorful curves, and multi-layered nudity in all the garish contradictions – between attraction and repulsion, but always multidimensional, always dynamic, and never too accurate.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.’ Entangled bodies, hinted limbs and lips sink into color-intensive surfaces and dynamic lines. With acrylic paint and oil paints, Seidlitz puts the self, and how it presents itself, to the test. His body can only be naked because the soul shows itself when it is naked. Human beings are complex and simple at the same time, they are always in the process of becoming.
