Anett Frey:

“Since her childhood, the forest has been an inspiration, refuge, home, and point of tranquility for the artist Anett Frey. Based on the changing appearances over time, underlying the seasons, the resulting changes of vitality and decay, moments, constantly changing moments of seeing, she tries to etch them on the etching plate or capture them in small oil paintings. Unique pieces emerge from the forest, telling of brittle sensuality, fragile beauty, and the impenetrable present moment. Frey is not concerned with reproducing reality – spontaneously gestural and expressively, she transforms the ‘forest’ into a wavering abstraction with an inner landscape of the soul.”

“Anett Frey is fascinated by the moment of silence when she comes across boulders, usually dead birds that have involuntarily lost their lives through humans, the transformation into a different state, the shell that remains for still lifes in undefined pictorial spaces.”
