Collection: Katharina Lehmann

Since 2014, Katharina Lehmann (born 1984 in Molchanovo, West Siberia) has been developing an independent artistic language that combines painting, sculpture, object, and installation. Central to her work is the "Infinite Walk" she developed – a performative work process in which she traverses spaces and condenses color-soaked threads into complex weaves. The movement of her body creates multifaceted structures in which time, action, and spatial experience are inscribed as material traces. Lehmann's works move between precise placement and controlled chance, opening up a field of tension between order and openness.

The artist understands her works as explorations of interconnectedness, transformation, and the dynamic relationships between humans, nature, and cultural systems. Her networks, constructed from thousands of meters of yarn, are reminiscent of organic growth processes, topographical formations, or neural structures. Her focus is less on depicting concrete connections than on making them visible and experienceable. The works reveal processes that usually elude our perception and point to constant change as a fundamental principle of life.

After her training in communication design in Munich and a study period at the Hyvinkää School of Art in Finland, Lehmann dedicated herself entirely to fine art from 2016. Her works have been exhibited internationally, including in Shanghai, Dubai, Los Angeles, Paris, and Como. Scholarships, residencies, and awards – including the Swatch Art Peace Hotel in Shanghai and the artist residency at the Nelimarkka Museum in Finland – accompany an artistic practice that combines material, movement, and space into an independent form of thinking and perceiving.
