Birgit Krins-Gudat

The human being - individually and also in its interactions and interdependencies - that is what occupies me. 

In my work I often start from net-like structures and organic and cell-like appearing entities. 

These do not primarily represent the biological aspect. They show symbolically and in a transferred sense the small and large action spaces of our coexistence, such as the behaviors in interacting with each other - in borderline situations, at work, in private and on the street. 

How does the individual beeing works in the larger context of togetherness? 

Which changes and developments move us and influence our community and which new things emerge from the old and the changes - what fears emerge - but also what kind of energy is released here and is leading to a change in our cultural landscape at a rapid pace. 

That is exciting! 

In my work I transform the preoccupation with these themes into large-format drawings, often in combination with experimental techniques. 

The line, the graphic fabric is very important to me. The fine mesh and the moving lines, which are layered and - on closer view - create a cosmos of structures and shapes, correspond to the complexity and diversity of people and their behavior. 

They stand for power, energy, destruction, dissolution. They are lines of life and experience. Birgit Krins-Gudat
