About Anja Struck
A Master of Atmospheric Staging
The painter Anja Struck from Lüneburg, Germany, places humans at the centre of her work, staging them in landscapes, in movements or the form of portraits. The figures she paints always contain a significant part of her own emotional world: "Every work is a piece of myself, undisguised, naked and honest."
She is a master of atmospheric staging. This applies to her numerous portraits, where she brings them to life with cleverly placed light and shadow, and it also applies to her works, in which she brings people and landscapes together. Typical of these works are the dissolution of boundaries, the blurring of motifs, and the emergence of blurriness. Struck's protagonists become completely absorbed in their surroundings, almost blurred into them, thus becoming part of nature itself. This artistic effect conveys a sense of great freedom.
Struck, born in Hamburg in 1961, now lives and works in Lüneburg. She studied graphic art and design, art education and painting under Markus Lüpertz, among others.
Graphic or sculpture edition that was initiated by ars mundi and is available only at ars mundi or at distribution partners licensed by ars mundi.
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.
Giclée = derived from the French verb gicler "to squirt, spurt".
The giclée method is a digital printing process. It is a high-resolution, large-format printout on an inkjet printer with special different-coloured dye- or pigment-based inks (usually six to twelve). The colours are fade-proof, i.e. resistant to harmful UV light. They have a high richness of nuance, contrast and saturation.
The giclée process is suitable for art canvases, handmade and watercolour paper as well as for silk.
