Christine Reifenberger, based in Cologne, creates objects that, even if they are sometimes “paintings”, intervene in the space with colours and shapes. They appear fragile and raw at the same time, ephemeral and extremely present, asserting their form and colour as events, sometimes slightly graceful, sometimes powerful. They are never “flat”, but the transition seems fluid as Reifenberger extends painting from the surface to three-dimensional sculpture in space. Her pictorial language is characterised by the observation of natural phenomena – terms such as growth, dissolution, transformation, vegetation, clouds and glaciers come to mind. We encounter these objects as strange artefacts that bear witness to life processes as well as to the artist’s working method, in which movement plays a central role (Melanie Weidemüller).
Esther Verhaeghe – art concepts was founded in 2013 in Brussels. The gallery is dedicated to contemporary art with a special focus on the German creative scene as well as women artists. The artists, works and exhibitions question themes such as fragility and vulnerability, presence and absence, and how to make the invisible tangible. Impermanence, movement and transformation are the common thread running through the works and artists exhibited and promoted by the gallery.
