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.

Porcelain is formed by turning or pressing, and figurative objects are cast. Complex objects have to be cast in separated steps and sections, and then "assembled". After the moulding, the pieces are dried and undergo an initial firing at about 900°C. Next, the glaze will be applied and fired at temperatures between 1,240 °C and 1,445 °C. In renowned manufactories, the porcelain is painted by hand, with each colour being fired individually under strict temperature tolerances.
Porcelain was invented in China and became widespread in Europe from the 16th century onwards. The first European porcelain factory was founded in Meissen, Germany in 1710.
Other famous European porcelain factories include Fürstenberg, Höchst, Schwarzburger Werkstätten, Lladró, Nymphenburg, KPM, Augarten, Sèvres, Limoges, Royal Copenhagen, Worcester. Each factories label their products with their personal porcelain stamps to indicate their origin.
