Kathleen Kilchenmann
Her artistic endeavors into the captivating realm where time,materials, and nature converge to narrate profound stories. it is a symphony of time and nature.She deals with the nature, environment, landscape which is for her also landscapes of the soul, for a long time. She wants to depict reduces and abstract landscapes and changes in nature, but also include the feelings and perceptions during the painting process.
To do this, she combines the found objects from nature, like braids, bark and straw, together with Asian and self-colored paper as collages, as well as several layers of paint and earth on the canvas, which creates a haptic.It is a devotion to her process and handling of materials, colors and shapes that inspires her to implement new ideas on canvas. So the viewer of her works can immerse himself with his thoughts and travel between heaven and earth
