Light me up | Katrin Kampmann

With the help of her works, such as the lamp ›Light me up‹, 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.

In her intensely colored, brightly colored paintings, Katrin Kampmann takes us into the imagination of her own world. The works are characterized by a balanced interplay between abstraction and figuration, which challenges us as viewers to let our own imagination become part of the composition of the picture. The thin colors pour lightly and fluidly onto the surface of the picture and are guided in new directions by the artist. Katrin Kampmann proves herself through her unique painting technique and the process of creating the picture.
