Friederike Walter

In a long and careful artistic process, Friederike Walter's painting developed from the representational, inspired by architecture and spatial constructions, to the depiction of abstract spaces without any real reference. Her new paintings show spaces that break away from conventional architectural certainties, such as static balance and true-to-scale equilibrium. Instead of architectural proportions, spaces develop without static stability, they negate the certainty of top and bottom, side to side, foreground to background and make the dissolution of spatial boundaries visible. In her pictures, the artist raises questions about the truth of what is visible and what lies beyond it. Light plays a dominant role in Friederike Walter's painting, making spaces visible through edges, openings, passages and overlaps where the light is refracted and reflected. In the process, she develops a painting in which the colors become increasingly subtle and intense, revealing a translucent luminosity that suggests a hidden light beneath the colored surfaces. With up to 15 wafer-thin layers of glazed paint, she creates a transparent colorfulness that makes it possible to experience the light as a hidden source and imagines a suggestive pictorial depth.
