Christina von Grote
Born in Göttingen, Germany, Christina von Grote studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich.
Her works combine breaks and contrasts within colour fields, connecting them through subtle and sensitive accents. The works are inspired by the movement of concrete art.
Christina von Grote's oeuvre is wide-ranging and complex. It is the expression of a never-ending journey in search of imaginary landscapes. By layering, overlapping, and sequencing colour fields von Grote develops spaces structured by lines and stripes. The composition of the image is subject to an ordering system, the search for perfection follows a discursive path between harmony, destruction and reconstruction. Through contrasts of light and shadow, stillness and movement, she creates a sense of expansive depth.
The artist lives and works in Hamburg.
