Stephanie Abbensen abstract imagery (short version)
By Sabrina Hoff
The word inform, the is the title of the exhibition allows, like the painting by Stephanie Abben different interpretation. Inform in the German translation affect interpretations as to penetrate to bottom are called elements, which seem to determine the functioning Stephanie Abbensen.
paint and canvas are fused together, they condition each other. The painting has an influence on the area and, through their penetration of color suddenly space, shapes and objects. The titles usually selects Abben intuitively by association, make their own interpretations to the image clearly. On the other hand, they also cause confusion in that Abben neologisms as Amile or steind devises. Through their sound, they seem to trigger memories of something familiar, that once discovered either in the images can or confusion. Whether the final image and title match, or are contrary to each other but remains always open and is left in its interpretation to the viewer.
What seems to resonate in the question of title and theme of the picture above, the apparent penetration of the image by a sometimes more, sometimes less is recognizable object. Although the Action or the creative process of the image clearly visible in the image remains, the abstraction of the image is broken again and again. One seems to see things objectively or to collect. The association is in the formal language of the image created with.
floral elements are reflected again, along with rooms that seem to peel through the often strong light-dark contrast from the surface. The boundaries between abstraction and figuration are blurred. The will to create these elements is not declared as a primary aim of the artist. Rather, they are products of the intuitive painting process. The subject, she finds as it expresses itself, often only in painting itself [1] The movement creates forms and motifs that can be developed and then produce a result that opens despite all abstract possibilities of association. Sun circles seem to stones, plants or lines to be rounding into caves. It created paintings that are not mere gesture, but also contain the form. The visual effect is enhanced in the narrative sense.
