2018
Mineral pigments and China ink on canvas
155 x 135 cm
Gertrud Kohlis work – Fragments of Nature 2018 – is responding to questions regarding the relationship between mankind and nature, which has become unbalanced, and at the same time she is creating a homage to life, to the symbiosis and inconstancy of creatures.
This picture originated from water, mineral pigments and China ink on canvas. It consists of scriptural elements – fragments and shapes suggestions of humans, animal and plants, - indefinable beings – on the threshold betweeen development and decay. Watching the protected aera, Ruggeller Riet, nature creates its own forms raising up in water ponds and disapear into earth-moor.
