Anja Billing
Places of transition
Her paintings as an exploration station in orbit around the course of the History of Art. Here, everything is about capturing clues for the most accurate representation of the world in our History. The tools are few and far between: a mythological foundation, collective memory and absolute mastery of colour. Welcome inside the beautiful artist’s brain.
Exploring our collective memory
The starting point is obviously always the past. An old photo from the colonial era, an engraving by Dürer, and the exploration is guided by the intuition alone of something beyond the painting, a higher order.
