Details:

Elvira Bach is a German artist who was born in Neuenhain in the Taunus in 1951 and has been one of the representatives of the "Junge Wilden" since the early 1980s. This style is characterised in particular by light-hearted and life-affirming painting. The cornerstone is the French Fauves, who attracted attention at the beginning of the 20th century, especially in Paris.
In her painting, the contemporary painter deals above all with social images of women and their roles. Her colour-intensive and expressive depictions of strong and sensual female figures are characterised by an implicit conflict between ordered forms and barely restrained joie de vivre, close to the border of irregularity and complacency.
She was allowed to show her large-format, colourful and incredibly powerful portraits of women at the documenta VII in Kassel at the age of 29. The works were well received and were subsequently presented and housed in art associations and museums.
Elvira Bach, too, was not spared in her eventful life and drew much peace and strength from experienced memories. From 1967 to 1970 she studied at the Staatliche Glasfachschule in Hadamar before moving to Berlin in 1972 to study at the Hochschule der Künste. There she became a master student of Hann Trier, who had already made a name for himself as an informal painter. During her studies she met Rainer Feiting and Helmut Middendorf, who were studying with the neo-expressionist artist Karl Horst Hödicke.
Later, thanks to a scholarship, the artist spent several months as "artist-in-residence" in Santo Domingo. A time that she felt was "part of her soul".
Elvira Bach has left little to nothing out in her eventful existence and creates deep contemplation and essential inspiration from these insights.
