Detailed description

Picture "Before the waves / four sanderlings" (2024)

I observed these birds on the Baltic Sea beach on the Danish island of Ærø. I managed to film and photograph them. I was fascinated by the sandpipers, which were gracefully searching for food on the edge of the sea. The oil painting was created some time later in the studio. The brushstroke is powerful and expressive with an impasto application of paint. The three-dimensional structures of the waves capture the dynamic mood. I have rendered the light on the waves impressionistically. The edges of the canvas are painted. A steel cable serves as a suspension. My signature is on the front.

About Ute Meyer

I was born in Oldenburg, Lower Saxony, in 1957 and grew up in Husum on the west coast.
I have had my studio in Flensburg on the east coast since the nineties. In the eighties I completed a degree in art education. Since the beginning of 2000 I have been showing my work nationally and internationally at exhibitions, fairs and in galleries. My paintings can be found with collectors at home and abroad. One of my main focuses is plein air painting. I work in my own garden or at the Danish Baltic Sea. Over the years, I have developed a way of working outdoors that enables me to finish large-format canvases in one go and capture the mood of the day. The constantly changing weather and light conditions influence, delay or accelerate my painting process and composition. This style of painting is about capturing the immediate impression, mood or atmosphere of the scene in a fresh and intuitive way, much like a musician sight-reading a piece of music. Other series of works, such as macro studies of the beach or people and animals in the landscape, are created in my studio. In abstract painting, the starting points are experiences from her daily life. Oil on canvas or wood, washed pen drawings and watercolor are my means of expression.
