Barbara Heinisch is a transdisciplinary German process painter whose work combines painting and performance, often in collaboration with artists from dance and music. Trained at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf under Joseph Beuys and later at the Hochschule der Künste Berlin as a master student of Karl Horst Hödicke, she developed a practice merging expressive figuration with gestural traces of movement. From the mid-1970s, she began staging performative painting actions, marking a decisive shift in her work, including early “self-discovery” actions (1975), Blindportrait (1976), and her first fully developed transdisciplinary process paintings in 1977.
