About Me
I am painting since I was small and couldn`t stop. I am teaching and painting and painting.


Statement
Selten geschieht es, dass bei einem einzigen Künstler gleichzeitig mehrer Stile entstehen und dass diese zu einer totalen szenischen Harmonie führen. So könnte man die Malkunst des Schweizers Sebastian Burckhardt bezeichnen. Dieses Endresultat ist in der Tat bewunderns-wert. Man nimmt einen tiefgehenden Elan wahr, eine konstante malerische Veränderung oder vielleicht auch eine stark verwurzelte Unzufriedenheit des Künstlers, wobei man jedoch aus Sicht des externen Geniessers, eigentlich nur Gefallen daran finden kann.
Darüber hinaus muss man auch hinzufügen, dass man in seinen Werken das Bedürfnis zur Erzählung und Darstellung der Szenerie förmlich riecht: von Anfang bis zum Ende durch formale Anwendungen mehrerer Gemälde, welche näher gerückt, eine Art Diptychon oder Triptychon erzeugend, fast schon das Gemälde „Il tributo della gabella“ von Masaccio (1401-1429) in Erinnerung rufen.
Verweisungen an vergangene Avantgarden, an Aufenthalte wie die zeitlose Unterbrechung der Metaphysik, aber auch an Meeresmeditationen, die vor allen von Walter Lazzaro geliebt wurden, wie z.B. „Mares Eternis 4“.
Dann gibt es auch Gemälde wie „USA Parking“, wo die malerische Aktion von Sebastian Burckhardt zum Realismus hinüberschweift, sicherlich nicht obsessiv, jedoch hartnäckig in einer zeitgenössischen Dimension eingetragen.
Werke wie „ Solden/Sodena Italy Alto Adige“ oder „ World`s End“ scheinen eine echte Überwindung des Künstlers zu zeigen. Wie ein persönlicher Drehpunkt, zumal intimer und gesammelter, mit welchem er durchaus in der Lage sein wird, künftige Ergebnisse einleiten zu können, die sicherlich sehr interessant sein werden.

Sebastian Burckhardt sente il respiro profondo e la potenza generante della natura, ne percepisce i grandi contrasti e i continui cambiamente con una esplosione cromatica talore inquietante, quasi sempre tesa, ascensionale, liricamente vibrante e sensualmente imperiosa.
Eros Bellinelli, preso della presentazione della mostra alla galleria Concento Vecchio, Astano � 29 luglio 1998
