Christiane Grimm
Germany
Christiane Grimm has created colour and light spaces ever since the mid-1980s. A major focus of her researches is on colour itself, which she investigates in terms of its luminosity, its wide range of nuances, the ways they can be combined, and also their effect on the viewer.
A trained architect and self-taught artist, she works with a wide range of colour materials, from oils and acrylics to pastels, and generally creates visual objects, architectural light sculptures, and boxes from Perspex, antique glass, and ribbed glass. The sensual effect conveyed by her works results from the varying interactions between the colours, the composition, the space, the material, and the lighting.
