MEER.BLAU.FRAU von Alexandra Geiger

In the organizer's words:

Sea. Blue. Woman.
Sea. Blue.
Inspired by her own travels, Alexandra Geiger translates her impressions of the sea into fascinating pictorial worlds. The infinite blue and the depth of the horizon cast a spell over her again and again, inviting her to immerse herself in picturesque expanses. The sea is far more than just a motif; it is an expression of an inner longing for freedom and letting go. "I want to be the sea, I want to lose myself, I want to find myself again," the artist quotes poetry slammer Julia Engelmann - and skillfully brings this attitude to life to the canvas in color and form.
The result is two cycles of paintings that the artist juxtaposes. She presents the figurative depictions in acrylic on canvas, while her two-dimensional, abstract compositions unfold their effect on wood. Her paintings are characterized by an intensive examination of the effect of colors. She uses these in a targeted manner to create an impressive spatiality and atmosphere. Both series combine a clear structure and a strong visual presence

Woman.
In the new series of works entitled "Woman", the focus is on the process of "becoming oneself". The works show the woman in her individual search for identity - a lively, ambivalent path between inner strength and moments of vulnerability. Here, Alexandra Geiger explores the question of how we locate ourselves in a complex world and find personal clarity and fulfillment.
The connection
In this exhibition, the sea and the woman's body serve as powerful metaphors for an overarching level of the search for meaning. Both poles are united by a central idea:
"You can't find yourself until you find something for yourself to lose yourself in."
