"Not Seamless I" expressionist composition in acrylic [2021]

This unique painting shows an abstract representation of organic forms in pale color composition. The gently arranged elements as well as the painting title "Not Seamless I" suggests that this work is a completely free interpretation.

The Graduate of the Muthesius Academy of Fine Arts lives the complexity in her paintings. A wafer-thin multi-layered image structure of forms, colors & materials that mutually condition and inspire each other, create a tension between the elements that appears delicate and powerful at the same time, determine her images. Seams mark interfaces, old connections are loosened, new connections emerge. Experimenting with forms, colours and materials determines the artist's work. Kasten-Jerke redefines painting.

She does not chase after trends, rather she processes everyday life, everyday events in her paintings. Her works are generally concentrated on a colourful, almost delicate choice of colourswhich is certainly also combined with strong colour tones, as well as on lines and forms, which again and again set accents. In her most recent representations something new can be observed: The artist succeeds in creating the illusion of spatiality, which is essentially due to her wafer-thin multi-layered pictorial composition. This way of working gives the viewer a noticeable lightness in the pictures.
