Everland (excerpt from catalogue)
︎

[...] “Slightly irritated, one realizes that the artist intends to pin our gaze to the explicit surface of her atmospheric images. Seduced by a translucent, blurry appearance we look into the image suddenly noticing that it is not possible to virtually dive inside the scenery completely, as spatial dept is only defined to a certain point. This generates a kind of sublime flatness which is captivating on the one hand and somehow refusing the eye of the beholder on other hand.

[...] The resulting aesthetics strongly refer to our medialized viewing habits. Although working with brushes, the artists concious renunciation of visible brush marks underlines this artificiality. A restrained palette and the absence of any narrative content makes the painting appear to have fallen out of time. By evoking a timeless archaic universality and familiarity at the same moment the image reflects the viewers own position in the cosmos. However, the analogy of the ambivalent relationship between man and nature in the era of Anthropocene, is not intended to be read as a moral message here.
The artists interest is rather located in the conflict of longing for –  and alienation from nature, as well as the feedback effect of our digitally shaped surroundings and our own perspective on nature. [...]

Gefilde und Gebilde - Annäherungen an die Gegenständlichkeit.
A groupshow of Martin Spengler, Melanie Siegel, Felix Rehfeld and Lena Keller. The 4 former Meisterschüler of Karin Kneffel show a current inventory of their works. Independent of their individual subjects, the positions are united by an interest in representational depiction and constructed pictorial space. The paintings and sculptures reflect in very different ways on the themes of landscape space and construction. Opening April 21 until July 9, 2023.

Approach
︎

With reference to the classical genre of landscape painting, I develop my works from manipulated photographic imagery that often revolves around human connection and alienation from natural habitats. In this context, I am interested in questions concerning our perception and how we are affected by the digitally shaped environments surrounding us. In my paintings (oil paint on cotton using a brush), representational depictions combine with allegedly virtual influences, resulting in a pictorial reality of their own.
