Artworks from Inge Philippin

Between inspiration and intuition

With her paintings in large and medium format, the artist, who lives & works near Leonberg, enjoys esteem not only among exhibition organisers and in hip galleries. Many colleagues also admire her aphoristic and touching formulations. The impetus for all her works is, without exception, nature. The influences of her painting lie between the peculiarity of nature, what surrounds us and the uncompromisingness with which the artist anchors the colour on the canvas in many layers.

The artist interweaves these experiences with her own history, translates and invents. She spans an aesthetic net between pleasing painting and artistic depth, and in her ongoing work process of appropriation and translation she also constantly reflects on her own role.

She quotes the original and interweaves it with the new, so that a river of ideas builds up and bursts impetuously over its banks. Which floods the viewer and thus also gives the impression of being nothing more than a large mountain of layers of paint laid on top of each other. On closer inspection, however, the lovingly incorporated details become plausibly clear. The graphic surface design makes them appear manageable; the structure resembles that of reality.
The dazzling variety of her ideas show how nimbly, subtly and conscientiously the artist knows how to juggle brush and palette knife.
However, the painter wisely refrains from taking a clear artistic position. If anything at all meaningful, she provokes with trivial insights such as "everything depends on everything" or "it is what it is".
