Detailed description
Picture "Be ready to say goodbye and start again" (2021)
With every call of life, the heart must be ready to say goodbye and start anew." These lines in "Stufen" by Hermann Hesse inspired me to write this work.
About Ruth Schleeh
I work abstractly, mostly in large formats.
I experiment, discard again, redesign or new.
Therefore, my works are sometimes very different, sometimes outlandish.
I can't say why my hand reaches for a certain color, why I now take a chalk or a wax crayon. It's little things and nuances that are my inspiration and probably take place more in the subconscious than rational decisions, but that's probably what art is.
Materials can also develop a dynamic that I can't control. Then I have to let myself get involved, not hold on to anything that I might have laid out in my head as a plan. Not the head works, but the picture and my hands tell me what to do.
