About Brigitte Hoeppe
Brigitte Hoeppe was born in Neumark, Germany in 1941. After studying social sciences, she married and moved to Southeast Asia in 1965. There she studied painting and graphic arts in Manila and Singapore.
As a master student of Dr Chen Wen Hsi and Madam Che Cheng Lin, she learned in a disciplined manner the artistic canon of Chinese painting, which includes landscapes, still lifes and flowers. Paintings that are full of graphic clarity without digressing from the essential. Painting as a form of meditation, as a means of sharpening the senses.
She undertook study trips to Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Taiwan, Indonesia, Cambodia, Hong Kong and numerous European countries. Starting from the strict Chinese watercolour painting, she has found her own style. Powerful, intensive colours and expressive visual language characterise Brigitte Hoeppe's works. Her preferred motifs are still lifes in nature. Deep blue tones combine to create beautiful, expressive compositions and seascapes.
More than 90 exhibitions have been held nationally and internationally, including in Basel, Berlin, Brussels, Frankfurt/Main, Hamburg, New York, Paris, Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Singapore and Zurich.
Graphic artwork in the making of which the artist combines at least two graphic techniques.
A one-of-a-kind or unique piece is a work of art that has been personally created by the artist. It exists only once due to the type of production (oil painting, watercolours, drawing, etc.).
In addition to the classic unique pieces, there exist the so-called "serial unique pieces". They present a series of works with the same colour, motif and technique, manually prepared by the same artist. The serial unique pieces are rooted in "serial art", a type of modern art, that aims to create an aesthetic effect through series, repetitions and variations of the same objects or themes or a system of constant and variable elements or principles.
In the history of arts, the starting point of this trend was the work "Les Meules" (1890/1891) by Claude Monet, in which for the first time a series was created that went beyond a mere group of works. The other artists, who addressed to the serial art, include Claude Monet, Piet Mondrian and above all Gerhard Richter.
