Nicola Barth, born 1966 in Mölln lives and works today near Frankfurt am Main. She completed her master degree in German literature, theatre, film and television studies and psychologie at the JW Goethe University in Frankfurt.
She always thougt about writing books, but soon she put her pen out of her hand and picked up a brush to find new forms of expression. Words were no longer sufficient to describe what she was dealing with: permanent metamorphic processes in non-obvious areas.
The focus of her work is besinde transformation and shapechange the topic of language and the space and is accompanied by questions about identity, the alienation and defragmentation of the individual and its location in space and time.
Her paintings can be understood as a short visual light that gives insight into a temporally ans spatially limited section of a development process.
Painting and drawing mainly in graphite and oil are complemented by tree-dimensional works and digitally manipulated photograhy. The contend follows the same principle and is as abstract and surreal as her paintings.
————————
She herselfs says about her work:
When everything is loose and in constant movement, everything reacts with everything else,
everything finds itself constantly in a process,
there is nothing really finished,
and when time and space are only fixed ideas,
then deception and change
are confusion and chance
It remains to stopp and make visible.
My analog answer to this is painting/ making art.
