Hedwig Eberle

Hedwig Eberle (born 1977 in Munich, lives and works on Lake Staffelsee) develops a style of painting that emerges from movement. Fluttering lines, dense color fields, and an exuberant chromaticism characterize her pictorial worlds. Gestural impulses coalesce into rhythmically balanced compositions in which control and chance do not appear as opposites, but rather remain effective as a productive tension. The picture plane becomes a resonating chamber for a struggle with form, volume, and energy.

Eberle's practice combines painterly power with calligraphic precision. Ink lines traverse the color composition, setting accents, opening up perspectives, and simultaneously allowing space for nuances, omissions, and intermediate tones. Her works preserve the original turmoil of the creative process and transform it into complex, organically developed harmonies.

Trained at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich under Sean Scully and at the Berlin University of the Arts, Eberle received, among other awards, the Bavarian Art Promotion Prize and the Art Prize of the Academy of Fine Arts Munich. Her work is shown internationally in solo and group exhibitions.

Q&A with the artists:

The exhibition ARTIFICIAL? Traces of the Present brings together works that question our perception. Reality appears not as a given, but as something that is constantly being appropriated. ARTIFICIAL? questions whether what we see and experience is not always already made, constructed, and mediated.

1) How does your work engage with reality and its construction, and what “traces of the present” become visible in it?

In general, I don't believe in "one" reality, but rather in individual realities. Therefore, I would define my work as a search for truthfulness and the autonomy of the image. For me, abstract painting is fundamentally a construct of a freely associative reality in which traces of the present become directly visible through the expression of color, material, gesture, etc., and thus become completely real in their own way.

2) How does your work develop from the initial idea to completion, and what role does your presentation style play in this process?

My aim is to dissolve idea and concept, and therefore only the process itself is of importance, a process which, through direct experience and the most uninhibited dialogue possible, contains within it everything that ultimately becomes expression and image. Thus, I find the essence of my art in the concentration of the mind, not of thoughts.
