Heinz Steinmann

All works are oil on canvas unless otherwise indicated

Swiss born Australian painter Heinz Steinmann has lived as a full time artist in his beloved far North Queensland for over four decades. His works are best known for the way they interpret his life and ventures in the Babinda Rainforest, the Cape York wilderness and the wide open spaces of the Gulf of Carpentaria.

His highly personal style stands aloof from avant-garde trends and is unique in its expressive power that communicates with us on a deep and personal level.

Heinz Steinmann has also achieved wide acclaim in Europe with important exhibitions in Switzerland, the UK and Germany, as well as the ZDF television documentary of his life and work.

Through numerous major solo exhibitions over the years in our leading galleries; including Australian Galleries Melbourne and Philip Bacon Galleries Brisbane he has long become one of Australia's widely recognised artists.

For nearly half a century the mainly recluse artist has rendered his many poetic interpretations, personal visions and dreams that have made a significant and exciting contribution to Australian art.

"Heinz Steinmann's beautiful interpretations of the far north tropical rainforest impressed me from the first time I saw them and I'm unaware of anybody else having tackled this awe-inspiring subject in quite the same way.

Such is the colour, mood and atmosphere Heinz captures, that for ages I have been toying with the idea of adding a musical dimension to his art. It has been an exciting challenge."
