Anne Loch. Painting: So what?

Over deze plek

The German artist Anne Loch (1946–2014), who lived in Switzerland intermittently since the 1980s, played with the conventions of representation while exploring the boundaries of painting: A quiet tension unfolds in her monumental paintings of mountains, flowers, animals, and insects. What at first glance appears idyllic and, at times, clichéd defies clear description upon closer inspection. The boundaries between the figurative and the abstract, between painting and drawing, and between reality and dream become permeable. Line, color, and plane take center stage, along with the search for the right proportions of these fundamental elements of painting. Through some 70 works, the exhibition at the Zentrum Paul Klee explores Anne Loch’s engagement with the medium of painting and the dissolution of her motifs.
