About the Item

Minimalistic but masterfully executed monochrome watercolor. The work immediately attracts attention with the originality of the composition - the image is shifted to the right edge of the sheet. This is a portrait of a girl, light and bright, on the verge of conventionality, without the saccharine so often found in children's portraits. The work is done on thick paper with water-soluble (or otherwise watercolor) graphite and graphite pencil. Bold strokes are combined with exact lines. The overall composition is laconic in its reminiscent of the works of Japanese graphic artists, but at the same time has all the expressiveness of the European school of realism. Marina Skepner lives and works in Bonn, Germany. She was born in Moscow, studied at Surikov State Art Institute in Moscow and the Montenegrin Art Academy, majoring in painting. She worked at the Dukley Art Residence by European Art Community and Dukley Summer School in Montenegro in 2015 and 2016. The artist’s work often tackles the theme of childhood, the problem of understanding the essence of time, the particular perception and comprehension of history. Marina is a member of the Bonn Union of Artists (BBK Bonn, Rhein-Sieg) and GEDOK-Bonn. Marina has had many personal exhibitions and participated in numerous collective projects in Germany, Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland, Ukraine, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro. Her works have been acquired for the collections of Marat Gelman, Juan Puntes (WhiteBox, New York), Giampaolo Abbondio (PAKS Galery, Milan), and others. As a contemporary artist, Marina use her excellent craftsmanship to work in different techniques: painting, drawing, collage, installation. Her works are marked with flawless technique and original ideas. The team of curators of the Art-S-Gallery.
