In the series “the great below”, Sebastian Herzau deals with portraits, which are changed with the most varied of motifs and techniques so that the viewer of these works of art is encouraged to explore the recognizable. These works of art are deliberately and clearly structured. The excited perception of the viewer does not provide an exact picture of reality.
Sebastian Herzau’s artistic oeuvre is very broad and ranges from landscape painting to portraits and sculptures.
