Helge Leiberg Helge Leiberg, born in 1954 in Dresden, studied at the Academy of Fine Arts there. Music is a common thread throughout the work of this multimedia artist, who has realized numerous music projects with A. R. Penck, among others.
Helge Leiberg's world of images and sculptures consists of symbolic figures, slim, with extremely long limbs and expansive gestures. Their dance-like gestures reveal pure life: sometimes self-forgetful, sometimes interacting, they express affection and aversion, struggle and union. His work is characterized by his masterful use of lines and virtuoso representation of movement. Leiberg draws inspiration from the mutual influence of painting, dance and music. He played in a band with A.R. Penck and put on performances with Christa Wolf at the Salzburg Festival.
Helge Leiberg was awarded the Brandenburg Art Prize for Painting in 2013. His works can be found in the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation, the Würth Collection and many other public and private collections.
In 2023, he will receive the Brandenburg Prime Minister's Honorary Prize as part of the Brandenburg Art Prize, which is awarded by the Märkische Oderzeitung and the Schloss Neuhardenberg Foundation.
