Dialogue
Heike Simmer (*1982, Bad Ems) lives and works in Cologne, Germany. The exhibition title, Dialogue, refers to the way the artist progresses in her creative process: each phase relates to the previous and following one, creating a unity. In her large-scale paintings, exhibited for the first time in Luxembourg, Heike Simmer explores the possibilities of dynamic pictorial universes. Her artistic interest lies in the ambivalence between abstraction and figuration; her approach is purely intuitive, combining different techniques and rhythms. The large canvases become a physical counterpart to her own body: while lying on the floor, she first applies multiple layers of paint to the canvases, then, as they are hanging on the wall, she adds chalk drawings. The monochrome surfaces convey a sense of calm, while the multicoloured parts vibrate and are in constant motion. These shapes resemble dancing body parts; each form defines the next, creating a dynamic dialogue. The focus, however, lies on the interplay between the obvious and the vague, as the artist aims to encourage the viewer to move beyond binary thinking. The exhibition also features her so-called 'objects', where the artist takes her work into three-dimensional space with forms seen as extensions of her paintings.
