Six female artists from Leipzig, Altenburg, and Dresden present paintings and graphics in a joint exhibition between representational and abstract art.

A focal point in Arina Heinze’s work is the exploration of organic structures found in nature, as well as an interest in form-finding. In recent years, she has created a series of large-format color etchings with amorphous shapes, floral and geometric ornaments. These forms possess a high associative content – they can be interpreted as living beings, mythical creatures, or greatly enlarged microorganisms under a microscope.

Victoria Matthies’ painting examines the sensuality of impasto paint as well as its luminosity and depth effect on various textures of her substrate. While some works are cast in resin, the brushstrokes of others move dynamically through space. Architectural and geometric forms provide a spatial framework of thought. https://www.victoriamatthies.de

Josephine Jannack explores the visible and invisible space between reality and fiction. Her paintings are non-objective, aiming to provide viewers with a means of perceiving the mind and abstraction of human inventions and conditions.

Alexandra Preusser’s painting is representational because the image emerges during her exploration of figure and object: the motif is not the content but the occasion for painting. The starting point for her paintings are observed constellations of forms, spatial conditions, and colors that have caught her attention in her immediate surroundings.

Franziska Dathe depicts objects in her paintings with which she feels a deeper connection; memorable experiences with people close to her, or observations of chance encounters in public spaces. Antje Dudek’s representational paintings feature human figures, animals, and mystical creatures as protagonists. Her smaller experimental works on paper oscillate between representational and abstract art, playing with variations in color and form.
