About the book
Sibylle Springer states that she is interested in the ambivalent and the vague, in nuances. This is also reflected in the body of work the artist creates for her solo exhibition at GAK Gesellschaft für Aktuelle Kunst: an exploration of historical and contemporary images of violence, physical intimacy and other taboos. In a painterly process, Springer hides the original image content from visual perception, makes it disappear in seeming monochromy, adds elements, or varies the format. By this means she opens up new ways of viewing supposedly familiar painting masterpieces and reinterprets their themes. Besides the many large-format canvases, the exhibition presents smaller drawings that revolve around similar themes. A recreated wall from Springer's studio displays her research work and myriad connections that serve as basis for her paintings.
