Description
Uta Reinhardt’s compositions are compelling. Her paintings, most of which feature human or animal figures, cause the viewer to try to understand what is happening on the canvas. Figures, some only partly formed, are in strange positions and alien situations, isolated and distant from each other and from the viewer. The gaze, a look back or simply a suggestion of undisclosed secrets, is at the heart of these constellations. They will never be able to find one another because they remain within the world created by the work and cannot break out of the image. Uta Reinhardt was born in Bielefeld in 1966. She studied with Hermann Albert at the Braunschweig University of Art. Her work is represented in numerous German and international collections. Essays by Peter Kohlhaas.
