Roswitha Schumacher-Kuckelkorn
Roswitha Schumacher-Kuckelkorn, born in 1962, is a master at playing with colour and form. She paints impressive, colour-intensive pictures inspired by interesting situations and landscapes – beyond known nature.
Nature is her inspiration, not her motif. It is rather the impressions she experiences shapes her paintings. She is generous with the use of colour and translates what she has experienced, simplifies what has happened and thus gives her paintings a unique character.
Tones like lush green, fresh blue, blazing red and orange determine her impressive pictures. The landscapes and sceneries are not images of reality but rather reflect the artist's impressions of these places. Her human depictions merge with the abstract colour spaces. The exciting paintings are a mixture of figuration and abstraction, painted with consistent, generous brushstrokes. The familiar is withdrawn, the fictitious emphasised. Expressive, moving colour spaces and imaginary landscapes emerge, which are worth exploring.
