Network V01 | Sandra Schlipkoeter

Sandra Schlipkoeter's framed works, such as ›Netzwerk V01‹, prove to be multi-layered works that are articulated in moving waves and lines. The numerous levels are dynamically interwoven, citing the graphic lines of the digitally generated disturbances and thus offering us an exciting, not entirely clear moment of contemplation. This image design is based on a well-thought-out approach on the part of the artist that has been thoroughly researched over the years. She approaches the ephemeral phenomenon from an artistic perspective by exploring different possible combinations and technological artifacts. These silhouettes intertwine with each other in multiple dimensions.

Sandra Schlipkoeter bases her works on a physical phenomenon that she isolates from invisible space and transfers into a visible context. Interferences are superpositions of waves in optical space that create complex line patterns and are made visible on the computer screen using digital photography. Wave-like lines seem to manifest themselves on the screen in an indefinable rhythm. The same applies to the phenomenon of light, which proves to be an immaterial yet omnipresent impulse. The artist uses these non-haptic spheres and translates them into representative, sculptural, painterly and installation art.

The artist also demonstrates her craftsmanship at the level of classical oil painting. In an illusionistic way, she captures a play of light and shadow on canvas that cites digital interference and is only recognizable as such upon closer inspection. Here the artist plays with color gradients and fictitious movement in an indefinable space.

Sandra Schlipkoeter, born in Solingen and living in Berlin, studied under Professor Eberhard Havekost at the Düsseldorf Art Academy, among others, and graduated as a master student in 2011. "In my work, I concentrate on making an invisible phenomenon visible, which I make visible in a hundredth of a second with a camera. I implement this artistically on canvas, in paper cutouts and sculptures over days and weeks of work," the artist sums up her exciting and, in the truest sense of the word, multi-layered work.
