Landscape Abstract Painting - "Landscape interwoven with blue and green"

Skadi Engeln

In this unique painting a semi-abstract landscape is presented, interwoven with stripes and lines. These elements are reminiscent of reflections on screens, window panes, or curtains when we view a landscape – whether photographed or alive. These visual disturbances symbolize the veil that abstracts us humans from the direct perception of the world.

They reflect the thoughts that accompany us as we view a landscape, as well as the music we listen to or the conversations we have while walking through it. At the same time, the lines refer to the traces of human impact on the landscape: interventions, measurements, planning, but also radiation and pollution. The introduction of vertical elements into the painted landscape is a reminder of all these aspects.

Similar to how Caspar David Friedrich in the Romantic era introduced the human being as a viewer into the painting, thereby pointing out his distance from nature, this work also illustrates the alienation and the simultaneous enduring connection of humans to the landscape.

From 2011 to 2013, she had a studio in Paris Belleville and in 2012, she was awarded the Prix Boesner, aab, Paris.

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.
