Detailed description

Sculpture "Exchange of ideas" (2023)

The pair of sculptures "Gedankenaustausch" consists of two female bodies made of fired clay. The two bodies are facing each other, with one of the bodies having no head. This representation can evoke various interpretations and encourage the viewer to reflect on themes such as communication, identity and the exchange of thoughts. The deliberate decision not to give one of the bodies a head indicates that sometimes words are not enough to convey thoughts and that non-verbal communication can play an important role. The dimensions of the figures are 22 h/9b/3T and 34h/10b/3T measured incl. wooden stand. The figures were treated with cold patina after firing, as was the wooden base. Works with signature

About Ilona Schmidt

Since 2007 I have devoted myself to free artistic studies, with a focus on painting and sculpture.
My works have been presented in numerous exhibitions at home and abroad and have been nominated and awarded several times. I have been a member of the Professional Association for Fine Artists since 2013. In my paintings and sculptures I try to capture the complexity of the human being. By using different techniques and materials, I create works that appeal to the emotions and thoughts of the viewer and stimulate reflection. My artistic work is characterized by a deep engagement with people and their environment. I explore the relationships between the individual and society, between body and mind, between past and present. My aim is to use my art to build a bridge between the viewer and the subject matter depicted. I want to arouse emotions, raise questions and provide food for thought. Because for me, art is not only an expression of my own thoughts and feelings, but also a medium for making contact with other people and inspiring them.
