Material: Acryl, echte Wolle auf Leinwand


Beschreibungen:

Dieses Werk entstand nach einem Besuch im Ruhrgebiet und ist Teil einer Serie, die sich mit industrieller Geschichte und persönlichen Eindrücken beschäftigt. Der Hintergrund ist in dunklen, nahezu rußigen Tönen gehalten – ein Verweis auf die Kohle, die diesen Ort geprägt hat. Rote und orangefarbene Akzente erinnern an Feuer, Hitze, Energie – die Kraft des Bergbaus.

Die Linien sind nicht bloß gemalt, sondern bestehen aus echten Wollfäden, die teilweise mit schwarzer Farbe überzogen sind – symbolisch für das Kohlenstaub-geschwärzte Gesicht eines Arbeiters. Diese textile Intervention schafft einen starken haptischen Kontrast zur Malerei und betont zugleich die Materialität des Themas.

Die Komposition wirkt wie ein Netz oder ein Gitter - sie lässt Assoziationen an Schachtanlagen, Fördergerüste oder Schutzvorrichtungen zu. Zugleich bleibt sie offen für Interpretation: Sind es Spuren, Narben, Strukturen der Erinnerung?


Konzept & Besonderheiten:

✔ Teil einer Werkreihe über das Ruhrgebiet - inspiriert von echten Orten und Erfahrungen

✔ Verwendung echter Wollfäden - bewusst eingefärbt, um Symbolik zu verstärken

✔ Ausdrucksstarke Farbkontraste - glühende Flächen treffen auf dunkle Tiefen

✔ Haptik als Bedeutungsträger - das Material spricht mit

✔ Kombination von abstrakter Malerei und Objektkunst

Printmaking Artist’s Statement :

My art springs from my innermost consciousness. Through my works, I wish to express my most primal thoughts and thereby make visible my existence as a thinking being in this world.

Over time, experiences, encounters and emotions accumulate, causing my works to reflect various moods. Yet despite all these changes, my fundamental way of thinking remains unchanged. During my early years at university, my works were often chaotic – to some, this may have appeared to be an unstructured or immature technique. Yet for me, it was a natural process of growth, an honest portrayal of life. Over time, my works became more minimalist, clearer and more three-dimensional. I did not consciously steer this development – it simply manifested itself in my art. This style continues to characterise my work to this day: clear geometry, strong colour contrasts and deliberate reduction. Large monochrome areas combined with fine lines or multiple blocks of colour create a sharp, almost cutting effect. This clarity and directness reflect my mindset at the time – no compromises, no detours.

Today, I yearn for purity, clarity and directness.

A defining theme in my art is my childhood. I grew up in a Chinese village whilst my parents worked in the city to make ends meet. My grandparents brought me up. The longing for my parents made me emotionally sensitive – I dreamt of seeing them again. This profound emotional experience has found its way into my works, for it is part of my most personal perception of reality.

Later, I worked in a warehouse in Germany for seven years – a long time during which I did not pick up a paintbrush. This phase was formative and difficult for me, yet it is part of my life. In early 2025, I consciously brought this chapter of my life to a close by handing in my notice. Perhaps this experience, too, will one day become a new artistic theme.

Whatever the theme, technique or material – I remain true to my original ideas. My art is not staged, but an honest reflection of the world from the perspective of an ordinary person.
