Gabriel Heimler is an artist of international renown, born, bred in Paris. He completed his studies at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Paris in 1988. He started exhibiting at the Grand Palais whilst studying there. He was selected by Magritte’s wife, Mirabelle d’Or, for the Salon de Figuration Critique. From this, the doors to the Drouot Auction House were opened to him and Heimler sold his first paintings.
Heimler has spent the last twenty years living and painting in Berlin. His fame started in 1989 with his Wall Jumper Mural directly painted on the fallen Berlin Wall. The painting is part of the East Side Gallery, the second most visited historical monument in Berlin with 700.000 visitors per year. This mural is recognized as an historical monument today.
Heimler has sold through Sotheby's in New York and sells at galleries in Berlin, Paris, Frankfurt and Brussels amongst many others. He has established the first after the Shoa group of Jewish artists and intellectuals Meshulash in Berlin and has curated yearly Meshulash exhibitions for ten years. Heimler has participated in numerous groups and solo exhibitions and has curated some throughout Europe and is presently in New Zealand.
Heimler’s work is inspired by a cocktail of German expressionism, cubist perspectives, pop-art and cartoon strips and shows a love for detail. His paintings are flamboyant, colorful and packed with interesting concrete narrative and conceptual issues based on literary, biblical, historical and art history topics. Heimler looks to underline a deep human individuality and to show emotions and feelings.
Everything Heimler paints is real and unreal – even surreal – at the same time and shown with much love for the people and objects he depicts. According to Manfred Giesler, a German art critic, Heimler is one of the very few painters who definitely have their own and unique style, known as ‘the Heimler‘s world‘, “…his world appears to be a real one”.
Heimler has transported his world to New Zealand. His Mural the World Jumper can be seen at the Suite Gallery in Newtown, Wellington and the Fence Jumper can be seen in JJ Morgan, Newtown, Wellington. He has stated in an interview for the Dominion Post

that “the colour that we see here is so incredible. The artists mix blue and green in a way you never see anywhere else in the world, many European artists are almost afraid of colour – but not kiwis”.
