/internal/media/dispatcher/36435/fullUntitled2010[Svenja Deininger]Svenja DeiningerOil on canvasQuestions of conception and composition, of the effect of the pictorial space upon the viewer and of how the work guides our gaze, underlie Svenja Deininger’s paintings. On the formal level, her spare works revisit the abstract geometric vocabulary of modernist movements. Yet her arrangements on the canvas are not rooted in a definite pictorial idea: “I start out with abstract shapes, I see something in them, and then use painting to lead the way there,” the artist describes her creative process. In this untitled oil painting, she arrays rectangles in a muted palette in rhythmical succession. The result is an interplay between equilibrium and irritation enhanced by deliberately placed accents.Painting© Svenja Deiningerhttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/19811/rdf
