“Oh Baby” Düsseldorf, 2020

The exhibition “Oh Baby” was created during the lockdown 2020 – in an empty shop, during the evening hours. Light shown in from the outside, with people passing by, now and then, outside on the pavement.

Gregor had me portray the women in my artwork and painted with light. We heard Superchérie from Matthieu Chedid in the studio in November.
My work takes place in the evening hours, at night. Gregor wanted to capture this, so the shoot began at sunset.

Thoughts on the “HNO” exhibition, former Maria Hilf hospital.
After the first visit, I couldn’t imagine how I could create art in this deserted place. It makes me happy to have realised, it is possible.
The view out of the window – plants growing between pavement slabs, moving ever closer to the old building, green and full of sun – inspired me and enabled my work.

[…] As in a watercolour, the color blurs diffusely at the edge of the areas of application, and penetrates the untreated cotton, blooming into the fibers in fine branches. Every line and every shape is continuously broken up in its contour. The figures are painted in relaxed, expressive poses, and seem to vibrate with emotion.
Mostly women are depicted, alone in Madonna-like delicacy or in gentle physical encounter with a male partner – shyly naked in an environment of floral and ornamental elements. The motifs often make one think of works by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner or Otto Müller. They carry this reserved, at the same time sublime grace, which can be described as natural beauty.
The idyllic quality of Katharina’s art arises from the familiarity of the moment, which the viewer feels reminded of. It’s the moment of the “blue hour” – the short period of twilight after the sun has set, until the onset of night darkness, in which mystical lighting and mood evoke both romantic and genuine feelings. Katharina addresses the longing for tranquility, security and peace in our fast-moving world.

The “Planet 58” exhibition shows current works by graduates of the Düsseldorf Art Academy. All participating artists completed their studies at the internationally renowned art college in 2018 and are now each presenting one to three works in the museum space.
[…] “Planet 58” plays with the idea of the unexplored, the future and refers to the transition from studying to an independent, free artistic career.
