"Concentration -
contemplation - metamorphosis traces of life – tracing a life"
In recent years these were the themes of my painting that kept
coming back to me. When I paint I embark on a journey into my
subconscious. I integrate sensory experiences into the painting
process. What emerges is a confrontation with something like a
reflection of my soul. I search for suitable forms, structures,
colours, hues/shades and sensitive surfaces.
Much gets rejected, altered. Letting go of cherished aspects in a
pictures plays a major role. These overpaintings allow an intended
multilayered quality to evolve, a search for what is essential, a
process of reduction, of coming to rest. I employ my individual
capacities to express truthfulness, coherence, visual authenticity."
By applying many layers, Brigitte Kratochwill achieves the surface
structure which she envisions. She intentionally overpaints finished
parts of the picture to get to the essence. That which is hidden
underneath, in a certain way always stays noticeable.
