Ich mag es, nach Orten zu suchen. Ich bleibe stehen, wenn ich von Atmosphäre und Licht fasziniert bin. Gebäude mit unvollkommenen Verbindungen. Ich sehe die zahlreichen Drähte an den Außenwänden. Die schiefe Straßenlaterne. Die Farbe, die von der Wand abblättert. Das Chaos, das Ordnung findet. Den Farbton der Dörfer, das große Bild oder die Farbabstufungen eines einzelnen Hauses. Eines schräger als das andere, hier eine Ecke mehr, dort etwas mehr, hier eine Lücke und dort etwas Gemaltes.

BIOGRAPHY
Marlene Pauer studied Fine Art, specialising in art therapy and education, at the Alanus University of Arts and Social Sciences, Bonn. Her journey into art was marked by detours, inner exploration and profound experiences: she initially trained as a window dresser at the age of 16 at Ludwig Beck in Munich – with the original aim of becoming a set designer.Â
However, the sudden onset of a rare muscular disorder meant that her health became her priority. During this time, she discovered new forms of expression: she trained as a children’s book illustrator at Illuskils in Vienna and obtained a diploma in herbal education. All these experiences eventually led her to study fine art.Â
Her work is inspired by artists such as Wolfgang Laib, Vivian Suter and the murals of the Zapatistas in Mexico. For her, the focus is always on the process – experimenting, feeling, mixing. She spent much of her first semester in the countryside, where she layered pigments on top of one another and allowed the influence of the weather and her surroundings – very much in the spirit of Vivian Suter – to flow into her paintings. Later, she worked intensively with printmaking techniques, and during her Erasmus year in Tenerife she gained numerous new insights into painting.
Her work in the bronze foundry also left a lasting impression on her: not because of the material itself, but because of the experience of working with fire, the physical exertion and the absolute concentration required when modelling a single piece. This energy and dedication are still evident in her artistic practice today, even though bronze does not feature in her works.
ARTISTIC STATEMENT
I experiment with drawings, photographs and collages; I mix colours, express my thoughts, seek out places and then transform them into a painted picture. Whether on canvas, wood or cardboard, using techniques such as linocut, etching or copperplate engraving, or through an installation, a performance or an action in public space.Â
Colour is my most faithful companion. It is by my side from the very first moment to the very last. It is the first thing I perceive and the last thing I express. It is the source of my passion. It is the motif that guides my work.
