Approach
︎

Lena Keller lives and works near Munich, Germany. Including drawing and printmaking in her practice, her work particularly emerges from thorough engagement with painting as a medium and its inherent genesis and qualities. Drawing from the classic genre of landscape painting, the artist interrogates our present relationship to the natural world. Her works often revolve around yearning and estrangement, blending representational depictions with digital influences. This involves the intertwining of technological and analog methods of image creation: The artist collages, edits and manipulates multitudes of personal and found images, allowing unfamiliar fragments to merge into new compositions. In examining the disparity between the original and depiction through painting a mutation, she emphasizes the unique potential of painting to convey veracity through approximation rather than direct reproduction. The result unfolds as a pictorial reality of their own, eminently relatable yet radiating an intriguingly enigmatic condition.
