ALMUTH KRISKO– INTO ART

When I was studying in Gröningen, in the Netherlands, my early approach to art was mainly concerned with the representation of my family and of the rough landscape of the Emsland.

A second phase began when I moved to Berlin in 1996 and started experimenting various themes and techniques, including digital image processing, which I used, for example, to create "The Horned Ones" and the "AlmuthAnimals".

Then, a dramatic change occurred in my life when I was forced to leave my large studio and move to a very small one. I felt “imprisoned”. This, basically, killed my creativity and, as a result, I gave up my artistic work all together.

About four years later, I took up a drawing course with an abstract artist and, through his very free approach to artistic work, I was able to experiment again, to try out new creative ways, not to be so concerned with the final result. This liberated me and allowed me to enjoy painting and drawing again in a very different and powerful way. This is how I work today, still attached to the representation of the world, but in a much more open style.

Lorsque j’étudiais à Gröningen, en Hollande, ma première approche de l'art était centrée sur la représentation de ma famille et de mon environnement, le paysage sauvage de l'Ems.

Une deuxième phase a commencé lorsque j'ai déménagé à Berlin en 1996 et que j'ai commencé à expérimenter divers thèmes et techniques, dont le traitement numérique de l'image, utilisé par exemple pour créer "Les Cornus" et les"Animaux d'Almuth".

Puis, un changement radical s’est produit dans ma vie lorsque j’ai été contraint de quitter mon grand studio pour emménager dans un tout petit. Je me suis sentie «emprisonnée ». Cela a tué ma créativité et m’a conduite à complètement abandonner mon travail artistique.

Environ quatre ans plus tard, j'ai suivi un cours de dessin avec un artiste abstrait et, grâce à son approche très libre, j'ai pu expérimenter de nouvelles formes de créativité, sans me soucier du résultat final. Cela m'a libéré et m'a permis de retrouver le plaisir à peindre et de dessiner d'une manière très différente et puissante. C'est ainsi que je travaille aujourd'hui, toujours attachée à la représentation du monde, mais dans un style beaucoup plus ouvert.

Die erste Phase während meines Kunststudiums in Gröningen beschäftigt sich hauptsächlich mit der rauen emsländischen Landschaft und der intensiven Auseinandersetzung mit meiner Familiensituation.

Die zweite Phase ab 1996 in Berlin beinhaltet verschiedene Techniken und Themen, es kommt die digitale Bildbearbeitung hinzu. So entstehen z.B. „Die Gehörnten“ und die„Almuthtiere“.

Durch einen unvorhergesehenen Wechsel in ein sehr kleines Atelier entsteht eine wenig kreative Phase, ich beende meine künstlerischen Arbeit.

Ca. vier Jahre später nehme ich an einem Zeichenkurs eines abstrakten Künstlers teil.

Durchseinen sehr freien und viel Raum bietenden Umgang mit der künstlerischen Arbeitbin ich plötzlich wieder in der Lage zu experimentieren, auszuprobieren, nicht auf das Ergebnis fixiert zu sein, also das Malen und Zeichnen wieder zugeniessen.

MARC RÄDER "REALITY vs. ILLUSION"

MARC RÄDER

Marc Räder, a Berlin-based art photographer, employs innovative techniques to create pictures with a contemplative and introspective essence. He uses analogue view cameras to interpret landscape and architecture. His photo art suggests a transfiguration of reality into an illusionary dimension, creating an almost suspended state between the real and the imagined. By using textured focal points that challenge perceptions of scale and authenticity, he explores the interplay between geography, architecture and human activity. This fusion of elements adds a contemporary dimension to his images and enables him to offer visual critiques of socio-political issues. With a global presence, his exhibitions and inclusion in MoMA's permanent collection exemplify his profound exploration of life's implications.
