More about "Wastelands 4 (Storm in the Forest)"

Stories move our thoughts - so it happens that just one element in the title is enough to go in search of how this storm has shaped the forest, as in "Storm in the Forest". Where do the branches and trees sway and bend under the storm, are leaves and dust flying, is my view of the sky obscured? This small oil painting was created by chance, intentionally without any recognisable forms of our imagination. 

What do you recognise? What mood does the picture create in you?

Motif 4 from the "Wastelands" series 

For this series the artist chooses random processes in order not to throw away colours left on the palette at the end of a session, but to incorporate them into a new work. There is nothing to recognise here, the motif is deliberately placed on the edge between the abstract and the figurative.

Blue Hour on the Alster (Seagulls)
Small light study in oil on cardboard with a scene on the Inner Alster: Three seagulls hovering over the glass roof of a stall just before dusk. The curved glass roof reflects the blue mood of the sky and the movement of a seagull hovering over the roof as it approaches.

I affectionately call it Warnie, explains S.
"I affectionately call it Warnie," explains S. (Landscape near Warngau, South Bavaria) A dramatic cloud formation hovers over the rolling hills near Warngau, reflecting the last rays of sunlight of the day. At dusk, we can see a farmhouse on the horizon, blades of grass bending in the evening breeze at the edge of the path ahead. The artist herself attributes the idiosyncratic, very narrow portrait format for a landscape depiction to her social media - namely Instagram - consumption.

Laundry Room View (Haidhausen)
A view over the rooftops of Haidhausen in Munich, Bavaria, just before a thunderstorm. A few last rays of sunlight graze the gables and chimneys. A dark weather front is building up behind the skyscrapers and the Ferris wheel at Ostbahnhof.The artist herself attributes the idiosyncratic, very narrow portrait format for a landscape depiction to her social media - namely Instagram - consumption.

The Dream
A woman sits at a table with a starched tablecloth and keeps her eyes closed. A waiter stands behind her and gives the woman a hair wash with the expensive champagne of a very well-known brand. However, this seemingly surreal scene could take place in exactly the same way; nothing in this painting contradicts reality or the laws of physics. Only our ideas of what we consider appropriate make this scene surreal.

Wastelands 1 (Clouds over the glacier)
The artist takes up the fine ramifications and in places deep dark areas created with the indigo blue ink to associatively establish a sky behind the colour edge with light blue. The foreground is dominated by red, brown and rust tones. The eye moves over the surfaces, loses itself in the finest facets of the dried ink and then glides further over contrasting flat areas of colour. Is depth created here? Or not in the end? The use of chance and colour creates a motif that searches for forms in our eyes. "Clouds over the glacier" is the artist's own association.

Wastelands 3 (Perhaps on Mars)
The intuitively perceptible landscape in the present motif "Perhaps on Mars" is revealed by looking at the bright green centre: around this centre, various areas of colour run their course, interrupted here and there by dabs of ultramarine blue. Rust-brown cloud-like shapes float through the foreground on the left, pointed edges protrude coolly - is this the view from a shelter out into a barren, inhospitable environment?Motif 3 from the "Wastelands" seriesFor this series the artist chooses random processes in order not to throw away colours left on the palette at the end of a session, but to incorporate them into a new work.

Wastelands 5 (Red Rocks)
In this motif "Red Rocks", a large red-orange shaded ink area characterises the overall colour scheme: a dark blue-grey-blue colour surrounds this centre in a strong complementary contrast. Golden ochre-coloured traces are spread across the rock-like structure, which tears away towards the bottom right and provokes completely different associations: a cat that has been run over? A lizard crawling down towards the centre? A human in a forward bend yoga pose? Step by step, our eyes scan the shapes, transitions and lines to find meaning. It's almost as if it can't come to rest any sooner. Try a meditation exercise in front of the picture: look at it, let the colours and shapes work their magic on you, but at the same time let any thoughts of recognition slip away.Motif 5 from the "Wastelands" series For this series the artist chooses random processes in order not to throw away colours left on the palette at the end of a session, but to incorporate them into a new work.

Wastelands 6 (Floating green cloud with castle tower)
Motif 6 from the "Wastelands" series The artist chooses random processes in order not to throw away colours left on the palette at the end of a session, but to incorporate them into a new work. In the motif "Floating green cloud with castle tower", a large green surface - created with ink using a random process - forms the centre. On the outside, a skin tone contrasts with it and makes it seem to float like a cloud. At the top left, the weather seems to be deteriorating. And at the bottom centre, a bird seems to be in a dive, directly towards a heron or rooster making itself large. And isn't that a dog on the right, sticking its nose up into the sky? Our brain wants to find meaning and spins a meaningful form out of random colours, gradients, brightness, lines and surfaces. As humans, we have been conditioned to the figurative world. What do you discover in this painting?

Wastelands 7 (Ruby mountain in darkness)
"Ruby mountain in darkness" is the only painting in this abstract landscape series that was created purely in oil paint and painted on a wooden panel. A dark, shimmering red draws the eye to the centre of this abstract scene, which is covered in dots in the foreground, with a warm, almost white band floating above. Dark, muted shades of green create the illusion of a mountainous landscape. A dark fairy tale could have found its place here.Motif 7 from the "Wastelands" series For this series the artist chooses random processes in order not to throw away colours left on the palette at the end of a session, but to incorporate them into a new work.
