Vita (» English version)

Kerstin Wagner wurde 1963 in Troisdorf bei Köln geboren.

1984-1987: Studium der Malerei an der Alanus Hochschule Alfter, Bonn;
1988-1989: Studium "Kunst in sozialen Arbeitsfeldern" an der Alanus Hochschule, gefördert vom Minsterium für Bildung und Wissenschaft.

Kerstin Wagner gründet ihre Malerei auf dem Thema "Yin und Yang", der beiden sich ergänzenden Prinzipien in der chinesischen Philosophie. Es zeigt die Teilung des Kosmos in sein negatives und sein positives Element, die zusammen ein Ganzes bilden. Ihre eigene Interpretation dieses Wechselspiels resultiert in einer interessanten Serie von Gemälden, die - werden sie nebeneinander hängt - tatsächlich eine deutliche Doppelbedeutung vermitteln: Ruhe und Dynamik, Dunkelheit und Licht, Bewegung und Stillstand. Die ruhigen, fast monochromen Bilder werden mit reinen Pigmenten gearbeitet, die durch ihre fast samtartige Oberfläche eine große Tiefe erzeugen.

In der Serie "Letters 4 You" bringt die Künstlerin frei fließende intuitive Schriften ein, die einen Eindruck von archaischen Dokumenten vermitteln. Diese Bilder sind kleiner und ebenfalls in verschiedener Art und Weise kombinierbar. Durch die unterschiedlichen Möglichkeiten, die Bilder zusammenzustellen, möchte die Künstlerin die Betrachter motivieren, sich in den kreativen Gestaltungsprozess mit einzubringen.

Die aktuellste Serie aus dem Jahr 2007 sind die Kreisbilder "Circles".

Seit 1989 ist Kerstin Wagner als Malerin freiberuflich tätig. Ihre Werke sind bisher auf über 80 Ausstellungen gezeigt worden, vorwiegend in Deutschland und Portugal.

English

"Kerstin Wagner bases her approach to art on Yin and Yang, the two complementary principles of Chinese philosophy. Yin is negative, dark and feminine, Yang positive, bright and masculine. Their interaction is thought to maintain the harmony of the universe and to influence everything within it. Her own interpretation of this interrelationship has resulted in an absorbing series of canvases that when placed together do indeed convey a distinct double meaning, movement against stillness, calm against chaos, darkness against lightness. Consequently, her work shines with a colour and vibrancy that reflects the culture surrounding her.
Recently however she created a new dimension to her style by adding a graphical element to her work. The latest series of paintings, known as Letters 4 You, incorporate letters of intuitive writings in a very free-flowing shorthand application. The canvases are also much smaller and the effect tends to focus the eye more discriminately."
(Text: Paul Bernhardt)

The recent art works of the artist are the paintings "Circles" from 2007.

Kerstin Wagner was born 1963 near Cologne in Germany. From 1984-1987 she studied painting at the Alanus Academy in Alfter near Bonn and 1988-1989 she studied Art in Social Environment there.
