Simone Strasser
About
The artist Simone Strasser has created an extensive painterly work since the late 90s. Her paintings are characterized by a lyrical abstraction. The paint application is gestural, the colors are sometimes matte to very intense. The artist often repaints the canvases in countless layers. The proportions of unprocessed or only primed but unpainted canvas vary. Simone Strasser writes about her work: “The format becomes an object, whereby the area is what interests me - if you can go into the real nothing, hold something for eternity that you cannot hold on to. The paintings are as figurative as they are abstract. I only work with perception and blindly transfer the motif to the canvas in action. The depicted, insofar as it does not tell its own story, is more or less recognizable. There must be clear realism in a single run, which does not come from the photo, and a feeling of having arrived.”
Simone Strasser was born in Ingolstadt, where she currently lives and works. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich with Prof. Anke Doberauer, whose master student and assistant she was. Her work has been shown in numerous cultural institutions and galleries: Kunstverein Ingolstadt, Stadtmuseum Amberg, Kunsthalle Bremen, Kulturverein Modern Studio (München-Freising), Goethe-Institut (München), Neuer Pfaffenhofener Kunstverein, Städtische Galerie am Rathausfletz (Neuburg), Städtische Galerie in der Harderbastei, (Ingolstadt), Kunstverein Grafschaft Bentheim (Neuenhaus), POSITIONS Berlin art fair 2022 | booth Galerie Gilla Loercher, Galerie Gilla Loercher (Berlin) a.o.
