[Titel aus >The Thin Red Line< von Terrance Malick ]


Maria geht in ihren Bildern dem Gedanken- und Empfindungsexperiment nach, wie scheinbar Unzusammenhängendes, unterschiedlichen Kontexten Entlehntes ein ähnliches Leitmotiv zugrunde liegen haben können. Vorgefundenes Bild- und Textmaterial wird gesammelt, gelagert, überlagert und zu fragmentarischen Bildwelten zusammengesetzt. Farbschichten und Textschichten konstruieren und dekonstruieren sich im Wechselspiel, Bildwelten werden konkreter oder entmaterialisieren sich wieder. 


Dieses Werk ist Teil der >The Thin Red Line< - Serie, die aus sechs gleichformatigen Malereien besteht und sich mit dem gleichnamigen Film (zu Deutsch >Der Schmale Grat<) von Terrance Malick beschäftigen. Die Arbeiten drehen sich um Fragen wie "What's this war in the heart of nature?" oder "What it'd be like to know that this breath now was the last one you was ever gonna draw." Fragen, die der Film aufwirft und nicht final beantwortet, ähnlich sind die Bilder dieser Reihe aufzufassen. Sie streben nicht danach Antworten auf diese Fragen zu geben, aber ihnen im malerischen Raum gedanklich nachzugehen, sie auszukosten, immer wieder auf sie zurückzukommen. Die Titel der Arbeiten sind dem Film entnommen und entziehen sich bewusst einer narrativen Lesart, wollen vielmehr einladen, sich eigene Gedanken zum angeschnittenen Thema zu machen.


Bilder werden auf der Rückseite signiert und mit Echtheitszertifikat versandt.

Maria Claudia Wagner

Maria Claudia Wagner has been devoting herself intensively to painting since 2018, with a particular focus on serial work. She draws on traditional oil painting techniques to address contemporary social issues. Maria’s paintings are characterised by a cropped composition, a haptic/tactile application of paint, and a vibrancy of colour achieved through the layering of numerous oil layers. Maria sees herself as part of the tradition of the ‘Slow Painters’ (her works develop slowly and are intended to have a lasting impact) and describes her approach as ‘Artistic Research’ – the results of this aesthetic research are reflected in her paintings. Maria is currently studying at the HGB Leipzig, works as an artistic assistant at the Baumwollspinnerei in Leipzig and runs her own studio at the Westwerk in Leipzig.
