In her colour-intensive, brightly coloured paintings, Katrin Kampmann transports us into the imagination of a world of our own. The works live from a balanced interplay between abstraction and figuration, which challenges us as viewers to let our own imagination become part of the picture composition. Light and flowing, the thin colours pour onto the surface of the painting and are steered in new directions by the artist. Katrin Kampmann proves herself through her unique painting technique and the process of finding the picture. Katrin Kampmann was born in Bonn/Germany. She has lived and worked in Berlin since 2000. From 2001 to 2006 she studied painting at the University of the Arts in Berlin. After graduating as a master student with Prof. K.H. Hödicke in 2006, she won the master student prize. Since then, her work has been shown in numerous solo exhibitions in Germany and worldwide. In 2010, she won the Dorothea Konwiarz Scholarship and was a finalist for the Phoenix Art Prize in 2011. Kampmann's works are represented in renowned museums as well as in private and public collections and have been exhibited at Kunsthalle Dresden and Kunsthalle Rostock, among others.
