Deliberate Disruptions of Polarized Light
The artist Sandra Schlipkoeter
(b. Solingen, Germany, 1979; lives and works in Berlin) uses the concept of
interference as an umbrella term for her extensive oeuvre, which spans the
media of painting, sculpture, and installation art. She studied at the
Düsseldorf Academy of Fine Art with Eberhard Havekost, who had a profound
influence on her as she devised her own photorealistic visual language. Interferences
of natural and digital light she engenders using photography and then
reproduces by painterly means have been central to her work since 2012; she
translates them into oil paintings, cut-outs made from fabric-like structures,
and installations. Experimenting with the diverse manifestations of light and
variously cutting up, superimposing, and contorting materials such as mirror
foil or paper, she creates visual universes that brim with energy.
The monograph Interferenzen presents her output of the past ten years. With essays by Gisela Elbracht-Iglhaut and Thomas Kuhn and a conversation with the artist by Anna Matzek.
