Description

Birgit Schweiger’s oeuvre characterizes her as an attentive, sensitive observer of her immediate surroundings. Throughout the artist’s oeuvre, her exploration of classic subjects of interpersonal relationships and the questions they raise remains an important constant in her artistic practice. The experimental continuation of her works, which appear simultaneously figurative and abstract, reveals the energy between people, their emotions, tensions, and potential for development. In her dynamically arranged color surfaces with bold colors and flowing, multi-layered perspectives, the artist transports us to a world in which everything seems to be in motion and thus everything is possible.

Although connected in color, individual strokes lead a life of their own, then flow into one another again and are intuitively continued by the artist on canvases, walls, or even in ephemeral installations. Whether as a black and white network of lines or as a sketch-like figuration: everything is connected. Every action has an impact. One is surprised by the connections and smiles at the artist’s wit and criticism in equal measure. The point is to discover this art with joy, to follow it, and to feel the inspiration and discourse as one lingers with the suggestions that become reality.
