Synopsis
“ This painting springs from the ambition to paint color into the air.” (Ulrich Loock) Nicola Staeglich’ s (b. Oldenburg, 1970; lives and works in Berlin) work with color achieves a distinctive intermediate state between physical presence and atmospheric radiance. She stages painting now as a performative action with broad propositions in color, now as an installation in three dimensions with multilayered translucent painted panels. Color Light Matter Mind is Staeglich’ s first monograph, setting recent works in relation to her earlier output (1998– 2021). From the spiral-shaped reliefs to her Liquid Lights, the artist opens up a fresh dimension for color. Nicola Staeglich studied at the Stä delschule, Frankfurt, the Academy of Fine Arts Mainz, and the Chelsea College of Art, London. She won numerous fellowships and has been professor of painting/graphic art at the Hochschule der bildenden Kü nste Essen since 2015. Her work has been presented in numerous solo exhibitions in Germany and abroad and is held by private and public collections.
