Where the energy comes from. Painting, sculpture, and text works
Where the energy comes from. At the center of Eulers's painting, sculpture, and text works, stands the questioning of identity, as it is formed nowadays by cultural, social, and technological forces. Jana Euler (b. 1982 in Friedberg), who graduated from the Staedelschule in Frankfurt a.M. in 2008, belongs to a generation of artists who completely grew up with the internet as an autonomous reality and have thus concerned themselves with the resultant shifts in social processes and world-views alongside ideas surrounding self-perception and the construction of identity. She hones in even further on gender-specific questions and the role of the artist in society. Eulers's works are characterized by a strong visual eclecticism. Painting - the core of her artistic practice - here varies formally between expressive figuration and mystically charged forms, while also easily adopting abstract and hyper-realistic traits. The artist does not quote directly but uses diverse painting modes and style itself as a reflexive medium for her subject matter. Opening 5th december 7 p.m.
