Heidrun Rathgeb, Sunday Morning in Voss, 2022 (framed)
Monotype, 19 x 25cm, variable edition of 3
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. Hand-printed outside the confines of a commercial studio, each individual print is characterised by unique variations inherent in the fluidity of the printing process. Peacefully sleeping figures are a recurring theme in Heidrun’s practice. This framed print is one of a variable edition of three, meaning that each print in the edition is slightly different. It is framed in white maple behind anti-reflective glass.
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). Travel is key within her practice; 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.
