Kurt Seidel’s painting is about colors and forms, it is about movement while painting and movement in the painting and it is about developing a painting while painting. There is a beginning, and obviously there must be an end. The beginning is the first stroke with brush or spatula, any color, any form, or maybe some leftover from any former work. And then the process begins to move, accelerates, slows down, and seems to stop, to reverse, to change directions and to accelerate again.  Finally something begins to form, to compose, to get coherence. All the forms and colors begin to unite: they form a painting.

The artist has done photography since his youth. Adult evening classes were taken, darkroom work was done, prices were won in competitions. In 2003 he started  drawing, intensively, mainly autodidactic. In 2005 he began to study acrylic painting, soon winning prices with figurative painting. Summer 2008 he had a solo exhibition at the Armed Forces Command and General Staff College, Hamburg, Germany.
