Art against human conceitedness & emotional numbness

“With a high level of social skills, Uwe Schwarz applies and experiments with different pictorial expressions to voice his criticism of civilization. His metaphoric and symbolic, sarcastic and subtle artistic work is objecting the human conceitedness, emotional numbness and the repellent indifference that goes with selfishness and even has a destructive effect. He likes to delve into the treasure chest of the history of civilization, to work with superimposition and collages, photographs and existing media products to make the viewer look in the mirror, over and over again” …Karin Weber, art historian
