Svenja deininger biography of martin

Galerie Martin Janda is pleased to present the third solo exhibition of Svenja Deininger from 7th June to 22nd July, 2017.

When viewing the paintings of Svenja Deininger, two features become immediately clear.

One is the heterogeneity of the elements that constitutes her works.

The diversity of colours, shapes and surfaces suggest that her interest lies not in a pictorial resolution and clarification, but in the dynamic interplays between the visual pieces which lead to unexpected configurations. The other is the sharpness of the lines that define each of these visual pieces.

The elements comprising her paintings come into proximity with each other, interact and sometimes overlap, but they never invade, mix with or dissolve into each other.

These two characteristics imply that Deininger’s paintings are of cities.

Their aesthetic language can only be conceived in an urban context — a large variety of elements cohabiting in proximity with each other
