WILD HORSES XII, SUMMER VIBE, 2022, Series
100x140x4cm
Acryl on canvas
"WILD HORSES"SERIES
THE SERIES IS MADE BY SEVERAL SUPERIMPOSED LAYERS OF ACRYLIC PAINT, VARNISH, GAUZE AND OXIDIDATION MEDIA , WHICH SOMETIMES RESULT IN RANDOM COLOURED LANDSCAPES.
CRACKS, SPATULAS AND OXIDATIONS ARE USED EXPERIMENTALLY. THEME CONTRASTING COLOURS OR COLD TONES CAN BE SHINE THROUGH THE SURFACE OF OVERLYING LAYERS OF PAINT IN CRACKS THAT HAVE FORMED.
NOT CONTROLLABLE OXIDATION PROCESSES OF COLOURS AND TEARING TECHNIQUES BECOME ABSTRACT COLOUR SPACES, CREATED BY CHANCE.
Heike LIN Triebel is inspired by the colours of nature, sky and water, mostly shades of light blue, blue and turquoise, as in the case of her series entitled , WILD HORSES, consisting of 13 paintings.
In the beginning, Heike LIN creates material backgrounds from several overlapping layers of acrylic paint, varnish, gauze and oxidation media, in the style of the Italian artist Italian artist Alberto Burri.
After a period of observation, the artist begins to paint the motifs, which emerge naturally from the cracks, spatulas and oxidations.
As the title suggests, from these blue backgrounds the artist brings out horses as main subject.
The history of art is permeated with equine representations which often symbolise strength and power, as for example in Umberto Boccioni's "La città che sale" from 1910.
Horses are also subjects to express anxiety as in "The Nightmare" by Johann H. Fussli, a painter of the Romantic period, or even more in the horse par excellence: SELENE's horse of the Parthenon, which is kept in the British Museum in London.
The most emblematic example of this series is the canvas entitled "Wild Horses IX", in which three horses seem to burst out of the canvas.
Their power is perceptible in their movement: they seem to gallop between the impetuous waters
of a stormy sea.
The feeling arises that the horses are charging out of the canvas, challenging the viewer with their straightforward and determined appearance.

Acrylic on canvas
"WILD&FREE" SERIES
These series are characterised by Heike Lin Triebels special technique that makes her works
immediately recognisable.
The layering that the artist does is obvious. Layer by layer, the works acquire a certain depth and at
the same time a transparency that makes them appear as if they were immersed in water.
The latter is an essential element in the art of Heike Lin Triebel, which recurs in all of her
works and highlights the essential, which is often taken for granted and forgotten.
The artist has created the series WILD& FREE, which consists of four very similar works in which
the dominant colours are blue and pink, with all their nuances. The contrast between these two
colours is amazing.
The environment, although natural, becomes ethereal and belongs to another world. The motifs are
the swans and cranes in their natural habitat. The artist emphasises their majesty, they are painted
in a dynamic moment when they take to the skies. This component is always present in the works
of Heike Lin Triebel, who foregrounds the dynamics, the strength and the power of the animals.
is expressed in the series WILD HORSES. In this case, the four works take on a material
material component, which is determined by the technique used by the artist, who mixes acrylic
with sand, ash and coffee.
The message of power is thus obvious, but the artist also conveys to the audience a message of
urgency: man is destroying the earth itself and with it the natural environment that guarantees the
survival of animals, and is selfishly and ruthlessly pursuing his goals. The materiality of these
works, the roughness and the ripples , help to underline the dramatic veil that is hidden in these
seemingly cheerful works.

ORANGE SKIES PAINTING I, 2015
120x150 cm
Acrylic on canvas
"ORANGE SKIES PAINTING I" SERIES
Heike Lin Triebel creates the work entitled "Orange Skies Painting I' in mixed media, using
a set of materials that lead the work to have a "rough" appearance.
The canvas is in relief, has ripples that animate the atmosphere. The two-dimensionality of
the canvas becomes three-dimensional. Matter tries to get out of the flatness imposed by
the support. This operation brings to mind the informal artists of the Post II World War, in
particular Alberto Burri, an Italian artist who sought the materiality of the canvas, using
techniques that led him to obtain this type of optical effects.
Heike Lin Triebel skillfully creates a landscape that appears real and surreal at the same
time. The protagonist is a person floating in the air with a parachute. From biographical
information we know that this is one of the artist's favorite sports, which seeks the feeling
of freedom in this activity. The same freedom is perceptible in admiring this canvas. Heike
manages to restore her emotions to the spectators, making them live her own adventures.
The colors chosen by the artist are warm:
orange, gold, yellow and green dominate the composition, placing the scene at sunset and
offering viewers a relaxing and energetic view at the same time. Although the main subject
remains the black figure that floats in the air, the undisputed protagonist remains the
rippled canvas that welcomes a gentle light that is released behind the subject. Looking
more closely at the painting we can see the set of techniques used by Heike: even what
appears to be the sea or a wasteland, is made with a technique such that it seems to
crumble. Once again the German artist Heike Lin Triebel offers spectators the opportunity
to travel with the mind within their own works.

WILD HORSES I, AUSTRALIA, SERIES
Acrylic on canvas
120X140x4 cm
These works in question, belonging to the series "Wild Horses" , are different in colour.
This makes them particularly interesting and unique. The series is in fact mostly composed of blue and light blue.
But as it is possible to see from the title Heike starts the Series with a red horse alone, „Wild Horses I, Australia“.
The artist will then continue change the colour and produce more horses together and begins her "blue and light blue" period.
Later, with „Autumn Horse“ she returns to the origins, almost wanting to find the inspiration that had led her to start this series.
Heike Lin realises „Autumn Horse“ which just emulating her first horse.
The red is undoubtedly important for the artist, a colour that we will find later in her production with the artwork entitled "Toro".

With this work Heike LIN Triebel shows the viewer her great sensitivity.
A woman in a sensual pose becomes one with the background, almost as if she were an invisible
woman.
The artist follows her style defined as "see-through". The facial expression conveys freedom and
lightness, as well as maturity and selfawareness. "Silver Skies I" is a work that celebrates female
beauty and the need for redemption.

RED KITE, 2020
70x100cm
Acrylic on canvas
"Red Kite" was created by Heike Lin Triebel in 2020, inspired by a friend who wanted a work that
expressed freedom. For the artist freedom is represented through flying, she herself seeks
freedom through skydiving.
Flight and freedom are embodied here by the kite in all its majesty. The wings are open in a gliding
position, the beak and the eyes are painted in detail. The blue, the predominant colour of the work,
is "broken" by the gold and copper used by the artist to confer royalty to the bird.
The artist has chosen to represent this bird and to celebrate it as one of the most elegant and
unfortunately at risk of extinction.
The horizontal composition and the placement on the side of the subject allows the work to get a
certain extension in space , as if the kite wanted to get out of the canvas and fly free.

"TORO"
"Toro" is one of the the artist's most recent paintings. Heike's artistic evolution and maturity is
perceptible through this artwork. The particular thing is that it is a sequel to the series "Wild
horses" but without giving us the certainty of a series production, so potentially it could remain a
unique piece within the artistic production of Heike. The red, taken from the first and eighth piece
of "Wild Horses", is a reference and a tribute to the Italian painter Alberto Burri and his "Rosso
plastica" and "Rosso sacco". The bull is not visible immediately, it appears following a careful observation of the work and it is precisely this fact that makes the art of Heike unique and
inimitable. The texture of the background is taken inside the figure of the bull, outlined and
remarked slightly.

Acrylic on canvas
"NIGHTMARE"
Heike Lin Triebel realizes the work "Nightmare" in the wake of her series entitled "Wild Horses"
and on what at the moment remains an isolated and unique case, the work entitled "Toro".
"Nightmare" could follow the same fate as "Toro" and remain the only work of Heike depicting a
lion in her typical technique of "see-through". The colors are the same used in "Wild Horses": blue
and aqua green dominate the canvas and make the atmosphere "aquatic". The impression is that
of being under water and of glimpsing the king of the forest, a majestic lion.
The lion has always been associated with strength and sovereignty. It's a symbol of power and
beauty and Heike LIN Triebel manages to do him justice, depicting him in motion, with the mane
floating in the air and legs ready to run.
From the sensory point of view this work offers a double perspective: on the one hand it transmits
a great strength and desire for revenge, on the other hand the work, as the title suggests, lets
glimpse something mysterious and dramatic.
The gaze is determined and at times ominous, as if the lion loomed menacing in our dreams, as if
he were both a friend and an enemy. Even the lights create a sort of ambivalent environment,
serene and relaxed but also dramatic.
An interesting detail that can be noticed only after a careful look is the tree, typical of the savannah,
placed in the background, on the right side of the canvas.
Above it there is a luminous circle, perhaps the moon, which places the setting at night, thus
reconnecting to the sphere of dreams and nightmares.

"NIGHTMARE"
Heike Lin Triebel realizes the work "Nightmare" in the wake of her series entitled "Wild Horses"
and on what at the moment remains an isolated and unique case, the work entitled "Toro".
"Nightmare" could follow the same fate as "Toro" and remain the only work of Heike depicting a
lion in her typical technique of "see-through". The colors are the same used in "Wild Horses": blue
and aqua green dominate the canvas and make the atmosphere "aquatic". The impression is that
of being under water and of glimpsing the king of the forest, a majestic lion.
The lion has always been associated with strength and sovereignty. It's a symbol of power and
beauty and Heike LIN Triebel manages to do him justice, depicting him in motion, with the mane
floating in the air and legs ready to run.

WILD HORSES V, SERIES
120x140 cm, acrylic on canvas
Heike LIN Triebel is inspired by the colours of nature, sky and water, mostly shades of light blue, blue and turquoise, as in the case of her series entitled , WILD HORSES, consisting of 13 paintings.
In the beginning, Heike LIN creates material backgrounds from several overlapping layers of acrylic paint, varnish, gauze and oxidation media, in the style of the Italian artist Italian artist Alberto Burri.
After a period of observation, the artist begins to paint the motifs, which emerge naturally from the cracks, spatulas and oxidations.
As the title suggests, from these blue backgrounds the artist brings out horses as main subject.
The history of art is permeated with equine representations which often symbolise strength and power, as for example in Umberto Boccioni's "La città che sale" from 1910.
Horses are also subjects to express anxiety as in "The Nightmare" by Johann H. Fussli, a painter of the Romantic period, or even more in the horse par excellence: SELENE's horse of the Parthenon, which is kept in the British Museum in London.
The most emblematic example of this series is the canvas entitled "Wild Horses IX", in which three horses seem to burst out of the canvas.
Their power is perceptible in their movement: they seem to gallop between the impetuous waters
of a stormy sea.
The feeling arises that the horses are charging out of the canvas, challenging the viewer with their straightforward and determined appearance.

Sailing III, 2015
150x130 cm
Acrylic on canvas
"SAILING " SERIES
Heike LIN Triebel realizes the artwork"Sailing III" belonging to the series entitled
"Sailing" realized during her stay, lasted two years, on board of her own boat, positioned
near Ibiza. This incredible experience leads her to immerse herself in a world far from
the mainland, get in touch with the creatures of the sea and with the feeling of immensity
that only the sea can give you. Her series tells all this. In particular, "Sailing |" conveys a sense of peace and serenity given by the use of light-blue and yellow, the main colors.
The work follows the same approach as all of Heike's production: her "see-through"
technique is evident and the observer is led,to a concentrated observation and to the
search for details. The work is in fact made,by spatula that reveal the presence of boats,
in particular what is evident are the pointed sails, which lead to a dolphin positioned in
the lower part of the canvas. The abstract style meets the figure in a beautiful game of
illusions. It is surprising that the subjects seem to magically appear among the colors.
Heike Lin Triebel with her works teaches that nothing is as it appears, teaches to go
beyond appearances and to dig deeper. Her works contain a certain magic and at the
same time makes it all so natural to seem a phenomenon already existing in nature - like
when you imagine figures in the clouds or in the veins of a tree. Heike manages to create
an appearance of naturalness and immediacy.
