Detailed description
Picture "A Beautiful Day" (2017)
The artist Anja Struck from Lüneburg is a master of atmospheric staging. That applies, for example, to her works in which she unites people and landscape. The dissolution of boundaries, the blurring of motifs and the emergence of blurriness are characteristic of these works. Struck's main subjects are fully absorbed in their surroundings. They virtually blur into them and thus become a part of nature itself. This artistic effect conveys a feeling of great freedom, as in "A Beautiful Day" alone in the summer mudflats.
Reproduction on Alu-Dibond behind 3 mm thick acrylic glass. Limited to 199 copies and numbered. Hand-signed certificate included. Size 42 x 112 cm (h/w). With suspension device. Due to the smooth surface, mirror effects may occur depending on the incidence of light. ars mundi Exclusive Edition.

About Anja Struck
A master of atmospheric staging
The painter Anja Struck places people at the centre of her work and stages them in landscapes, sequences of movements or portraits. She says that every figure she paints represents her emotional world. "Every work is a piece of myself, unconcealed, naked and honest." Struck achieves the special mood in her paintings through a deliberate blurring: motifs and contours blur and dissolve into veils of colour.
Struck was born in 1961 in Hamburg, Germany. Today she lives and works in Lüneburg. She studied graphics and design, art education and painting under Markus Lüpertz, among others.
This form of presentation comes from the world of professional photographers and exhibition organizers. More and more artists create their works for this aluminium medium in high-tech composite. The metallic surface creates a synthesis with the colours. White areas of the image are shimmering matt-metallic, depending on the light source. They let the picture look classy and puristic. Thanks to the direct colour pigmentation the details are rendered accurately. Alu-Dibond is long-lasting and resistant.

Depiction of typical scenes from daily life in painting, whereby a distinction can be made between peasant, bourgeois and courtly genres.
The genre reached its peak and immense popularity in Dutch paintings of the 17th century. In the 18th century, especially in France, the courtly-galant painting became prominent while in Germany the bourgeois character was emphasised.
