Heidrun Rathgeb, The Small Fjord, 2023
Watercolour monotype, 10 x 15cm (unframed)
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.
Hiking in the landscape are key within Heidrun’s practice and she has travelled widely undertaking artistic residencies in and outside Europe. Often the artist draws from life at dawn or dusk, then returns to the studio to continue working. This unique print was based upon drawings made during a lunchtime break on a hike in northern Norway. The colour has been built up using several printing plates, giving the surface a soft, crayon-y texture.
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 in regular solo and group exhibitions in the UK and Germany; most recently, a solo show of paintings was presented by John Martin Gallery in London (2022). Oliver Projects has launched new prints by Heidrun at the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair in 2021, 2022 and 2023.
Heidrun currently lives and works in rural South Germany, with views from her home of Lake Constance and the Alps.
