Siegfried Zademack was born in Bremen, Germany on December 24, 1952. Freelance artist since 1980. Several art-shows of his work in and outside his home-country. Siegfried Zademack’s surrealistic visionary paintings make recipients and reviewers wonder. The arrangement of his pictorial thoughts immensely exceeds a realistic reproduction. His pictures allow us to slip in metaphysical dimensions, between humorous irony and the unfathomable deepness of our souls.
The semantic sources of this art are equally past and present. The quotation from art history stands alongside the Coca-Cola bottle. His true teachers were the masters of the early and late Italian Renaissance up to the Mannerists. The syntax of his work is completely determined by that of the classical masters. What is astonishing is that, in adopting it for his own pictorial inventions, he employs such perfect technique – though this is indispensable, in view his objectives. His figural inventions are clearly sculptured, but his iconology presumes considerable knowledge of art history and politic.
In some of his pictorial quotes, we detect the difference to the Surrealist approach: it is the historical angle, which was yet possible and this is the present-day aspect – in manneristic periods. Descartes had seen this without making an issue of it: mundus est fabula, the world is a grand fable, a never-ending story in which we are forever entangled.
If we live from stories, there are no sharp borderlines between periods, for history is then the present, and anything we do now is already the future. This is the link between Boltraffio’s Madonna and the American Way of Life, which makes no distinction between the classics and Coca Cola.
