Corinne Wasmuht

The widely acclaimed artist can perhaps most accurately be described as an astute chronicler of modern life. Whether depicting architecture, street scenes or the digital world, her meticulously-assembled oil paintings serve as both an antidote to, and reflection of, the chaotic entropy of our world. In her Berlin studio, the artist digitally compiles and collates the thousands of individual photographs and images that will be used in each work. She then begins the lengthy, meditative painting process to bring her vision to life.

The resulting works overflow with color, detail and visual information, creating a hyperstimulating first impression. Surfaces and forms overlap and merge, challenging our concept of space and depth. Underpinned by an expert eye for composition, Wasmuht strikes a delicate balance between the deliberate precision of her application and her turbulent, rapidly-changing subject matter.
