Description

Astrid Lowack, "Falling Asleep" abstract photographic composition, this motif is paradigmatic for Lowack's works; on the one hand, the play of light on the moving water reveals her understanding of art, which is based on Impressionism, as well as her willingness to use colourful irritation and alienation, the moving water as the dominant transcendent pictorial element opens up a sensory world between the conscious and the unconscious in the transition to the dream world ("Falling Asleep"), with the eye looking out of the surface of the water in the left half of the picture, in which the viewer can see himself reflected, something charmingly indeterminate opens up, as it were; the eye could be a person drowning in nightmares or symbolise the slipping into the human imagination and dream world; in any case, the pictorial elements together create an autosuggestive, captivating fascination typical of Lowack, almost like a whirlpool, which the observer cannot escape, as the German art historian Klaus Honnef commented on Lowack's style: "The longer one looks at Astrid Lowack's paintings, and above all, the more intensely, the more clearly contours of patterns and formations seem to emerge, [....] as if a world is revealed in the diverse colour formations that is still emerging", quoted from the exhibition catalogue "The Elements of Transcendence" from 2019, enclosed, photo print on canvas, monogrammed in ligature on the reverse of the stretcher frame and titled "FALLING ASLEEP" in a typical manner for the artist, dated "2019" and numbered "1/6" with regard to the edition of the limited print, folded dimensions approx. 97 x 97 cm. Artist info: German photo artist (1969 Bamberg), since 1991 self-employed in the field of marketing and advertising, since 1997 freelance designer, since 2011 working as a photo artist, her increasingly internationally recognised photo compositions have been exhibited throughout Germany in recent years, including in Berlin, Karlsruhe, Brühl and Cologne, she lives and works near Amsterdam, source: Internet.
