TATJANA VALSANG
Wupper - Kongo
6 May - 25 June, 2011
Konrad Fischer Galerie Düsseldorf gladly presents the first solo exhibition of Wuppertal-based painter Tatjana Valsang (born 1963 in St. Tönis). The artist studied at Düsseldorf Academy of Arts with Dieter Krieg.
In her large-format works executed in Acrylic on canvas, Tatjana Valsang stages a theater of painting. Numerous layers of paint – some opaque, others diaphanous – are built in succession, some colour patches are removed, others are added. This workflow finds expression in a multi-faceted sediment of colour layers. The artist combines both, controlled painterly gesture and coincidental organic-chemical process. The painting functions as an experimental test area for new forms. The beholder is invited to decipher organic shapes being suggestive of colours developing their own lives – like a gaze at live under a microscope reflecting microcosm in the macrocosm.
