About the Item

Silke Albrecht (* 1986 in Soest, lives and works Düsseldorf) studied at the Kunstakademie Münster with Prof. Michael van Ofen and later at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf as Masterstudent of the worldwide known photographer Andreas Gursky. In 2011 she received a scholarship from the Best-Gruppe-Düsseldorf, in 2013 one of the Apotheker und Ärztebank and in 2017 she was Artist in Residence in Tel Aviv, of the Bronner Residency und Kunststiftung. Silke Albrecht has exhibited a.o. at FZB Bochum (2019), at Akademie Galerie Düsseldorf (2017), at Nino Mier Galerie Los Angeles (2017), at Kunsthalle Gießen (2017), at Kunstverein Ahlen (2016), at Mélange Köln (2015), at KIT Düsseldorf (2014) and at the Westfälische Provinzial Münster (2012). The central point in Silke Albrecht‘s work is the examination of the loss of a uniform worldview in the context of contemporary geological, ecological and geopolitical problems. Albrecht‘s paintings can be understood as manifestos of a critical – in the double sense of criticizing and analyzing – attitude towards anthropocentric views of the world. This attitude can also be seen in the titles of her pictures or in the series of pictures; they are oriented to terms and idioms, among other things. In the abstract works, as, for instance, in “Sediments (1)” we do not just see forms and colors painted on canvas with a brush. Rather, Albrecht also works with means such as collage, assemblage, sewing and embroidery. She pours, she wipes, she draws on the canvas. What is decisive, however, is that on the one hand it is about highly effective, impressive and convincing pictures on canvas, which partly exceed the two-dimensionality of the canvas like reliefs, and on the other hand about the joy of creating these works. This is connected with the content described insofar as Albrecht does not represent or depict objects, but rather creates quite concretely. She brings herself in as an actor, not as a distanced performer. Creation as the actual act that produces the image (the pictorial world). For “Sediments (1)” Albrecht added debris, shards, pebbles, in general: found objects to the canvas. All these elements can be found in the earthen sediments of our world. We see, in fact, remnants of our civilized societies, that are – as long as they are not part of an artwork – threatening our ecologic system. The canvas itself had been colored by pouring (not painting) the color and by – thus – mirroring the energetic act of pouring, an act reminding us of Jackson Pollock.

Nocturne 3

Located in Bozeman, MT

Formalism collides with a punk rock, folk art sensibility in his pop culture mash-ups that explore the liminal space between the natural and built environment. The animal kingdom acts as our proxy. His paintings are noticeably devoid of the human figure, replaced by a colorful bestiary cavorting in landscapes that echo speculative fiction...
