The Berlin painter Brigitte Körber has been artistically dealing with the topic of "technology in art" since 2000. Her works are a declaration of love for the aesthetic beauty of technical objects. With unbridled creativity, she places these in ever new, surprising, abstract environments that then combine harmoniously with one another. Her joy in experimenting with different materials, including plastic, is reflected in her work. Sand, filler, lye and varnish help her to realize her ideas in acrylic on canvas.
Since her studies and two years of attending the master class with Prof. Markus Lüpertz, she has also worked on individual motifs in series.
Brigitte Körber has been represented in numerous domestic and international solo and group exhibitions. Her works hang in many companies and private collections.
She is a founding member of the international artists’ group Breitengrad e.V.
About the art of Brigitte Körber
My intention is to make the viewer of my work aware of everyday life and what surrounds us. We encounter these things at all times and yet they are quickly forgotten, overlooked or ignored. However, they hold the larger system together, because every detail, no matter how small, is part of a whole.
By removing objects such as screws or hooks from their usual environment and placing them in a new, unusual environment, they attract the viewer’s attention. They can devote themselves to the subject of the picture free from familiar thought patterns.
I create a field of tension between abstraction and precision and thereby put the everyday in the spotlight. Every part, no matter how small, is part of a larger whole and can only function if everything works together.
We are also part of a larger whole, a system that only functions as well as each individual living together. Otherwise we sink into chaos.
