Colour and imagination: Katrin Kampmann
In her works, Katrin Kampmann creates colorful, bright worlds. She deals with so-called counter-realities, in which everyday motifs appear highly surreal through the unique use of color. Her complex working method combines chance and control by allowing liquid colors to merge on the surface and flow over the picture, demonstrating a well-thought-out, controlled technique through painterly collages. The forms, which establish themselves as figurative moments through color streams as well as blobs of color and brushstrokes, gradually reveal the subject of the picture. Katrin Kampmann's dynamic production process is further solidified by the use of linocut printing, in which she places several surfaces on top of one another and thus causes the picture surface to vibrate. Both the artist's colorful imagination and our own, stimulated by the flickering vision, are inscribed in her works and play with a dualism of realistic experience and surreal imagery. Katrin Kampmann repeatedly shows her interest in and inner references to film and literature, especially science fiction. Her works awaken new associations, offer space for one's own insights and inspire with their colorful joie de vivre, which is always coupled with a pinch of irony.
While the artist allows liquid paint to flow into her canvases and papers during the production process, pouring them onto the picture surface in flowing streams, we follow the gentle and moving color paths when looking at the sensual works. In a symbiosis of chance and control, Katrin Kampmann directs her color streams into certain paths, giving them directions from which shapes and surfaces crystallize into objective motifs. The figurative moments arise in a balanced dualism of abstraction and figuration, which the artist develops into her own formal language and which runs through her entire work. Her painterly creations repeatedly play with traditional genres and well-known pictorial subjects.
With the help of her works, Katrin Kampmann also knows how to stimulate our own imagination by offering us figurative clues that we can discover for ourselves when we look at them, complete them in our mind's eye and understand them. When we look at the candy-colored mountain worlds, we immerse ourselves in ecstatic and new feelings.
