About the art of Doris A. Oberschachtsiek
Doris Oberschachtsiek explores the abstraction of organic natural and bodily forms in her work.
(Asja Kaspers, Art Historian)
Painter Doris Oberschachtsiek reduces anatomical forms to their simplest basic shapes. She portrays humans as part of nature—at times, a human body transforms into a landscape. The Wuppertal-based artist’s painting style is rapid and impasto. The tactile quality of her works highlights another central theme of her art: the contrast between light and shadow."**
