Heidrun Rathgeb, Flora's Quilt., 2024 (framed)
Monotype, 28.5 × 21cm
Heidrun Rathgeb’s practice celebrates - in her words - ‘moments that feel like daily epiphanies’. Whether drawing from the dramatic landscape surrounding her home or capturing intimate moments within domesticity, Heidrun’s small-scale unique and limited edition prints explore ‘states of being’ within today’s often frenetic world.
Heidrun works using a range of traditional and contemporary printmaking techniques including woodcut, etching and monoprint. Hiking and camping in the landscape often inform Heidrun’s imagery, where she makes drawings, continuing to work on the image back in her studio. She also draws from life, using family members captured in quiet, domestic moments as her subjects.
This is one of four new monoprints by Heidrun which have been specially framed for the 2024 Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair. Capturing figures in deep, contented sleep is a recurring theme for the artist. In this case, the details of her barely-visible subject’s bedroom, including a bright blue pillow and patterned quilt, create a feeling of snugness. Printed using watercolour ink, each unique work is made using more than one printing plate, resulting in a a painterly surface with saturated colour. This work is signed and titled on the back.
Heidrun was born in Germany but moved to London in 1993 to study at the Byam Shaw School of Art followed by the Slade School of Fine Art, London. Her work has been exhibited widely in solo and group exhibitions internationally. Recently, solo exhibitions of her paintings have been presented by John Martin Gallery in London (2022 and 2023), 532 Gallery Thomas Jaeckel in New York (2023), Day 01 Gallery in Sydney (2024) and Gallery Sofie van de Velde, Antwerp (2024). Oliver Projects has been proud to exhibit Heidrun’s prints at the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair as well as in regular group shows. Heidrun has undertaken artistic residencies in Norway, Denmark, France, Scotland, Spain, Italy and India.
Heidrun currently lives and works in rural South Germany, with views from her home of Lake Constance and the Alps.
