Moody

Galerie Gilla Loercher | Contemporary Art is thrilled to present the third solo show by Simone Strasser.
The exhibition opens on Gallery Weekend Friday 2 May at 12:00 and the vernissage starts at 18:00.

The artist has created an extensive painterly work since the late 90s. The small to large format pictures shown in the exhibition „Moody“ 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 (*1977) lives and works in Ingolstadt. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich and received a master student diploma. Her work has been shown in numerous art institutions and galleries.
Kunstverein Ingolstadt, Museum Villa Rot (Burgrieden), Stadtmuseum Amberg, Kunsthalle Bremen, Kulturverein Modern Studio (München), Goethe-Institut (München), Neuer Pfaffenhofener Kunstverein, Städtische Galerie am Rathausfletz (Neuburg), Kunstverein Grafschaft Bentheim (Neuenhaus), Städtische Galerie in der Harderbastei (Ingolstadt) a.o.
