Portrait of Marius Seidliz
Marius Seidlitz is known for his uniqueness that re-interpret the beauty of human being and it evokes variety of emotions.
Marius Seidlitz (b. 1985) is a German-born artist and based in Bayreuth, Germany. Through his creations, he explores the positivity of self and questions the essence and perfection of beauty. In particular, viewers can feel a range of emotions in the depicted figures and animals through restrained lines and vibrant colors. The artist intentionally portrays intertwined bodies, overlapping arms, and lips with imperfections, showcasing human limitations and vulnerabilities while highlighting the beauty that arises from imperfection. From this context, the viewers are prompted to contemplate questions such as “What is true beauty?” And “Does perfection has exist?” when experiencing his artwork. Through Seidlitz’s artworks, they embark on a journey to ponder the nature of genuine beauty and perfect harmony. Also, the cold metallic texture of the figures in his artworks subtly evokes emotions, making the pieces even more captivating.
Marius Seidliz (b. 1985)는 독일 바이로이트에서 태어나 독일에서 활동하는 작가입니다. Seidlitz는 Bauhaus University에서 Fine Arts를 졸업했습니다. 그의 작품에는 자아에 대한 양성을 탐구하며 인간의 아름다움에 대한 본질과 완벽함이 무엇인가에 대해 의문을 자아냅니다. 특히, Seidlitz의 작품을 보는 관람객들은 절제된 선과 다채로운 색상을 통해 작품 속 인물과 동물을 다양한 감정으로 느낄 수 있습니다. 그의 작품에는 서로 얽혀있는 몸, 중첩된 팔과 입술은 작가가 의도적으로 불완전하게 묘사했습니다. 이러한 특징들은 인간이 가진 한계와 취약함을 나타내면서도 불완전에서 오는 아름다움이 무엇인지 작가는 이야기해 주고 있습니다. 따라서 작품을 통해 관람객들은 스스로에게 “아름다움이란 무엇인가?”, “완벽함이 존재하는가?” 와 같은 질문을 던집니다. Seidlitz의 작품을 통해 관람객들은 진정한 아름다움과 완벽한 조화란 무엇인지 고찰하게 됩니다. 그의 작품에서는 인물들에게 차가운 금속 질감이 잘 도드라지는데 미묘한 감정을 불러일으키며 더욱 매혹적으로 작품이 느껴집니다.
