"was mich betrifft" (As far as I am concerned’)

In Katrin Zickler's work, painting and object merge into a natural, idiosyncratic aesthetic that immediately leaves a lasting impression. Her very free use of colour and form can tell mystical and playful stories, resonate emotionally and erotically, and come across as both flattering and unwieldy.

Together with the fabulous bronze and rare paper objects, the figurative and abstract paintings and drawings span the arc from the transitory to the eternal, tell us a great deal about the experience of becoming human and, above all, seduce us into feeling.

Katrin Zickler's works are a confession, a powerful defence of the tangible here and now. The artist allows the viewer to feel much more than to recognise, but she does not seduce us in the process. Rather, she carefully draws us to the bottom, into a natural, often condensed materiality. One does not feel alien on this ground, but rather well cared for, grounded and invited to delve even deeper and linger there.

The solo exhibition was mich betrifft (as far as I'm concerned) at the FLOX Gallery in Dresden is deeply autobiographical in its self-reference, and it is very courageous of the artist to open up her inner world in this way. Courage and self-reflection in all its facets – isn't that exactly what we need today?
