Painting - Clouds interwoven with purple

Skadi Engeln

In this unique painting "Clouds Woven in Purple" by the artist Skadi Engeln, white clouds pass by and obscure the sky, a hint at the depth of the infinite universe that remains hidden from us here. Delicate lines and stripes traverse and weave through the sky, giving the work a unique dimension. This artwork is part of the ongoing series "Woven Landscapes" or "Distorted Images," where landscapes appear veiled by a curtain, a veil, lines, or stripes. These visual elements allude to the contemporary perception of the world through modern media and its flaws.

In the spring of 2011, the artist began "disturbing her landscapes." The nuclear accident in Fukushima fundamentally changed her painterly view of the world. The landscapes that serve as the starting point for her work – such as Berry, the Uckermark, the sea, and others – have not lost any of their beauty. Nevertheless, a virulent conflict caused by humans is inscribed in them, which is expressed in her works.

This work is an impressive example of this style, depicting both the natural beauty of the landscapes and the deep conflicts caused by humans. The combination of traditional painting techniques and modern thematic approaches makes this painting a special highlight of any art collection.

Skadi Engeln studied sculpture under Robert van de Laar and painting under Michael Kohr and Hermanus Westendorp at FH Ottersberg from 1990 to 1995. She lives and works in Berlin and France. From 1995 to 1997, she worked as a freelance painter and sculptor in Bochum and Essen. Since 1995, she has operated a summer studio in La Grande Preugne/St. Jeanvrin, Berry, France, and has been working as a freelance painter in Berlin since 1998.

In 2004, she founded and directed the Galerie Ephemer in Berlin-Wuppertal. Since 2008, she has been a member of BKK Berlin and from 2009 to 2011, she directed the Galerie Frenhofer in Berlin. From 2011 to 2013, she had a studio in Paris Belleville and in 2012, she was awarded the Prix Boesner, aab, Paris. In 2017, she founded the "Kunstsalon am Weißen See" and in 2021, the "Kunstsalon am Berg im Tal". Additionally, she is a member of the Kunstverein Ottobrunn.

In her artistic work, Engeln focuses on multifaceted, travel-inspired paintings that explore the tension between balance and disruption, and thematize the beauty and vulnerability of our world. Since 2012, she has complemented her paintings with multi-colored woodcuts and screen prints, which allow her to create playful and associative collages of various motifs, finding their way back into her paintings.
