Bernd Heinelt uses various techniques such as water-colours, oil colours, acry, airbrush or printing techniques such as linoleum or etchings, depending on his intentions. Sometimes he wants to express special moods or feelings by translating them into colours and forms. But more often he wants to assimilate and events he has.

On the occasion of the exhibition "ENCOUNTERS" in the gallery
KUNSTSTÜCK in 1995, Renate Freyeisen,
art critic, stated in the `MAIN ECHO:

"Bernd Heinelt’s paintings are both: bewildering and stimulating. The numerous vivid-forms, sometimes anclosed in exact contours, sometimes black-edged and coloured in, sometimes demarcated by vivid snacling around the forms, present a enranged vegetation that could be born plants or limbs. Fantasy and reality captured through the vivant colours."


The harmonious brown-coloured Assemblages (`The day after‘) show that Bernd Heinelt really enjoys experimenting with forms and materials. Various materials merge into one another and seem to toice on three-dimensional forms and imaginative beings come alive through the light ejects. As well as that, the viewer is able to use his imagination in finding out new aspects and interpretations. Viewed in a shady place, depending on whether it is daylight or artificial light, the pictures change completely – this is due to the manifold layers of colour.
Bernd Heinelt’s newest assemblages are a complete contrast however to his previous works.
They confront the viewer with their strong colours. In 1998, a visit to the Matopos (Zimbabwe in Africa) – a region with fantastic rock formations and cave-paintings – inspired the artist to create these Assemblages. The combination of original cave paintings with modern colours and structures is fascinating and gives the original background of rocks a new and vivid dimension.
