Katrin Bremermann

Katrin Bremermann combines primary abstraction with spontaneous expression to create two-dimensional paintings with a three-dimensional quality as well as three-dimensional steel sculptures. Working in the tradition of shaped canvases pioneered by artists such as Ellsworth Kelly and Kenneth Noland, Bremermann’s work explores the connection between reality and the illusion of depth and perspective. Challenging the vocabulary of painting, she depicts abstract and minimal organic shapes that explore the interplay between positive and negative space. Inspired by poetry and literature, Bremermann gives her works evocative yet ambiguous titles such as I like it there (2018) or ​​Cooking, cleaning, sleeping (2019). She creates her lacquer drawings by waxing both sides of her paper to increase its transparency, then produces lines and marks for a marbled effect.
