Heidrun Rathgeb, Stadt, Land, Fluss, 2023 (framed)
Monotype, 15 x 20cm
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 often uses her children in her imagery, captured sleeping peacefully, or - as in this work - playing a game of ‘City Country River’ together on holiday. This is one of four new monoprints derived from sketchbook drawings and 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 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). She 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.
