Cornelia Hesse | "Ripped off"
"Patterns are tempting, but it's only when you break them that new possibilities open up," says Cornelia Hesse. She has made breaking through patterns
her life principle - and opened up completely new possibilities
for herself.
Her approach is always experimental in every respect.
She not only uses a wide variety of materials and
contrasting combinations of materials, she also works with
different techniques.
The transition between the three-dimensional objects and the two-dimensional pictorial inventions is fluid. There are sculptural works that look like a drawing in space. And it may be that such a form is also repeated on the canvas, sometimes even as a pattern that is broken at some point.
