"I have never responded to the pretty aspect of dance, I'm always looking for the primal things, sex, life and death." - Robert Heindel

This is one of Heindel's recurring credos. His canvases based on David Bintley's balletic plea for a range of endangered species, was a turning point which shifted an already hugely popular artist into a different, deeper artistic landscape. This was his first major canon of work after the death of his son Toby in 1990."
