ALMUTH KRISKO - "INTO ART"
ALMUTH KRISKO practises art since her childhood in the Netherlands. Herearly artistic creations were about her family and nature. She moved to Berlin in 1996, working in big ateliers with many people around. But one day she was forced to move to a very small place where she felt “imprisoned”. This killed her creativity for many years. She then met an abstract artist who, through his free creative approach gave her the motivation to experiment again, to try new ways. She felt liberated and could enjoy painting and drawing again. Today, she still is attached to the representation of the world, but in a much more open style than in earlier times.
MARC RÄDER - "REALITY VS ILLUSION" (E)
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.
