Seine Ausbildung zum Grafiker und Designer absolvierte Siegfried Lehmann an der Fachschule für angewandte Kunst und der Fachhochschule für Graphik und Design in Düsseldorf. Seit mehr als 20 Jahren ist er freiberuflicher Künstler und Graphiker mit eigenem Atelier. Seine Arbeitsschwerpunkte sind Öl- und Acrylbilder, 3D-Art sowie Skulpturen aus Holz und Kunststoff. In seinen Arbeiten setzt Siegfried Lehmann immer wieder Ideen aus der alltäglichen Realität, kombiniert mit Anregungen aus dem Unterbewusstsein, in geometrisch-poetische Kompositionen von großer Prägnanz um. Die Themen unserer Zeit spiegeln sich dabei in seinen Werken, dargestellt in seiner phantastisch-realistisch- subjektiven Bilderwelt. Dabei ist er nicht auf einen Kunststil oder eine Kunstrichtung festgelegt, vielmehr zeichnen sich seine Werke durch Vielfältigkeit, Variationsreichtum und das Zusammenspiel verschiedener Stilrichtungen, kombiniert zu Neuem noch nie dagewesenen, aus. Sein Spektrum reicht von abstrakten oder grafischen Darstellungen bis hin zum Surreal – Skurrilen. In seinen neusten Werken hat Siegfried Lehmann sich intensiv sowohl mit der 3D-Art als auch mit der figurativen Darstellung auseinandergesetzt und so einen ganz neuen Aspekt in seine Bilder gebracht. Seine Arbeiten präsentiert Siegfried Lehmann auf internationalen Kunstmessen, in Museen und Galerien unter anderem in Peking, Miami, New York City, Las Vegas, Florenz und Daugavpils (Mark Rothko Art Centre).

Siegfried Lehmann completed his training as a graphic artist and designer at the school of applied arts and at the school of graphic and design in Düsseldorf. For more than 20 years he is a freelance artist and graphic artist with his own studio. His main activities are oil and acrylic paintings, 3D-art as well as sculptures of wood and plastic. In his artworks, Siegfried Lehmann repeatedly puts ideas from every day´s reality into geometric-poetic compositions of great clarity, combined with suggestions from the subconscious. The issues of our time are reflected in his works, shown in his fantastic- realistic-subjective imagery. At the same time, he is not fixed on an art style or a genre, but his work is characterized by diversity, variety and the interplay of assorted styles, combined with new unprecedented ideas. His spectrum ranges from abstract or graphic representations to surreal-bizarre. In his latest works, Siegfried Lehmann intensively has dealt with both 3D-art and and figurative representation, thus bringing a whole new aspect to his paintings. Siegfried Lehmann presents his artworks at international art fairs, in museums and galleries among others in Beijing, Miami, New York City, Las Vegas, Florence and Daugavpils (Mark Rothko Art Centre).

SIEGFRIED LEHMANN Keith Haring argued, "The contemporary artist has a responsibility towards humanity. He has to continue his celebration; he must oppose the dehumanization of our culture.” Following this credo, German painter Siegfried Lehmann accomplishes a lively narrative through captivating compositions filled with geometric and graphic art components. Appealing to the viewer’s subconscious, Mr. Lehmann navigates his paintings to reach a balance between the figurative and the abstract. Seeking to establish an alternate reality in which social relationships are prioritized over digital technologies, Mr. Lehmann’s art investigates the human condition through his distinctive artistic identity. Eagerly accepting the challenge of finding a solution to artistic problems posed by both his imagination and by his mediums, Mr. Lehmann’s subject matters may begin with realistic images, but may also include fantastical, whimsical, or abstracted forms. By combining multiple images, subjects and symbols, then revealing them from different viewpoints, unexpected and imaginative results are obtained. Contrasting organic forms create complex relationships as they overlap within an abstracted dynamic background, and there is a subtle change of color and density as his hard-edge band styled produces vibrations and illusions of spatial expansion. Cool and expert, Mr. Lehmann judiciously planned geometric paintings coordinate a close color rapport with considerable finesse, and his spectral colors exist independently in space, without altering the over-all forms of the surface, or the complexities of the structure itself. With a contemporary visual vocabulary, Siegfried Lehmann’s oeuvre manifests the dynamic placement of colors and shapes in a carefully controlled aesthetic environment. Building an atmosphere with simple, clean lines infused with variety of textures, shapes, and layers, this gifted artist utilizes his background in design to create an active image where line, color and form coalesce and float freely in space, creating a complex relationship between the individual elements and the overall composition. Letting the work speak for itself, each painting is open to the interpretation and the impression of the viewer. Excelling in technicality and precision, the complexity and thoughtfulness of each composition has earned Siegfried Lehmann recognition both within Germany and internationally. Exploring the mediums of oil, acrylic, and 3-Dimensional art, Mr. Lehmann has presented his artwork at a multitude of international art fairs, museums, and galleries around the world.

SIEGFRIED LEHMANN is a German artist, author of paintings where ideas taken from everyday reality fell in fantastic settings. A genuine painting where shapes and colors give voice to the suggestions of the unconscious in a geometric-poetic transcription of great incisiveness. Equipped with an extrovert temperament, like of a free spirit that move away from him too narrow labels, the artist comes to eclectic miscellanies of ideas and styles, from which take shape worlds of shimmering graphic patterns. Through a methodical desecration of the figurative tradition Lehmann inserts into the two- dimensionality of the support, the dynamic effect of the movement. The sparkling of colors and lights intertwines in a frantic dance that makes resonate each shade. In Siegfried Lehmann’s artworks, the eye of the observer is literally mesmerized by the repetition of vivid geometric patterns, unknowingly slipping into the psychedelic worlds of an easygoing and colorful abstraction.
