Detailed description

Picture "Spring fever (1)" (2021)

In this expressive mixed media work on 300g watercolor cardboard I wanted to capture the cheerful light of the first rays of spring. This work seems abstract at first glance, but on closer inspection you discover a landscape, perhaps wide fields or a lake and a horizon line. Above it blows a gusty wind, represented by a strong gesture in the brush and charcoal stroke , which hides the sun's rays behind an overcast sky and lets them shine through only vaguely,. The special feature of this work is the picture-within-a-picture motif. The edge was painted first and then the actual motif was worked out. Thus, an iridescent impression of two levels was created.

About Kerstin Forster

From 1986 I studied graphics and painting at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich with Prof.
Gerhard Berger and Prof. Daniel Spoerri. Before that I completed an internship for icon painting with multiple Venice Art Biennale participant Rene Chacon. I finished my art studies in 1993 with a diploma and the distinction "Meisterschülerin". Since I am also interested in the development of the human being, I began in 1995 the postgraduate studies "Visual Design and Therapy" of the AdBK Munich, which I did not finish in favor of my free painting. As a freelance artist, I exhibit in group and solo exhibitions since 1988 at home and abroad, for example, 2019 "River and Memory" at Palmer Galerienhaus 3.0 in Stuttgart, 2017 "Landscapes and other escapes" at Plattform 15 in Munich, Kunstverein Aichach, Kunstverein Brühl, Stadt. Galerie am Graben Augsburg, Bayr. Staatsministerium für Arbeit & Familie, Munich, Gallery Twerenbold Lucerne and Gallery P3 Tokyo. I also received several scholarships such as a studio scholarship from the Gisela-und-Erwin-von-Steiner-Foundation from 2006 to 2009, a residency scholarship at the Kunstsommer Irsee in the class of Karin Kneffel, 1995 and at the Collezione Peggy Guggenheim in Venice, 1990. For "Kinder treffen Künstler e.V." I am engaged in the artistic-aesthetic education of disadvantaged children. In my painterly work I am between dawn and dusk constantly in search of the light and beauty in the hidden.
