TATJANA VALSANG
Farbkarten
9 March - 21 April, 2012
Konrad Fischer Gallery is pleased to announce the first solo exhibition of Tatjana Valsang in Berlin. Tatjana Valsang (1963, St. Tönis) lives and works in Wuppertal and studied at the academy in Düsseldorf with Dieter Krieg.
Valsang’s abstract paintings orchestrate on mostly large canvases a complex interaction between color, form and pictorial space. She works with many layers of paint on the canvas, partly opaque, partly translucent which in the process of painting are sometimes removed again and replaced by new ones. The entire chronology of her working process remains visible through the formations of overlapping, translucent layers of paint. Valsang’s technique of painting wet on wet, her use of extremely liquid medium and tools which are hardly controllable give way to planned occurrences of contingencies; colors may mix and new shapes appear while others fade away. Her paintings become test areas of painterly possibilities, wherein the results always appear as readable compositions. In her new works we often find wave-like formations overlaid by clearly defined shapes organizing the pictorial space and providing movement and dynamism to her compositions.
