Loredana Nemes – Graubaum und Himmelmeer

Comunicato stampa

In her latest series Graubaum und Himmelmeer (Greytree and Heavensea), 2019-2023 the artist Loredana Nemes wanders through the quiet nature of the island of Rügen. In her usual color palette with endless greys and exclusively in portrait format, she catches this forest of beeches, its glades, the views of the sea in the cycle of the four seasons. The viewer stands in amazement, respectful and almost meditating in front of these detailed gelatine silver prints and becomes part of a symphony, a total work of art. An intense and poetic experience.

"Breathing is easier in Sassnitz. There, a faster light and the leaves in May like butterflies on the delicate branches. The ground around the beeches seems closer, no need for escape. The muscles relax. Grey trees that know me: from the Carpathian Ridge I come, from a beech land left behind. In Sassnitz, a sea at the edge of the forest. It cannot snap at me. It throws back the light and knows all the greys. Then we stand at this edge with arms and branches and roots that grasp and nourish each other, and nothing hurts anymore." (Loredana Nemes)
