The island of stars, we call home

Anne Wölk explores the relationship between cultural plurality and a recycling of pop-culture, by layering different motifs from Science Fiction film stills and quotations from an art historical background, like Constructivism, Post-painterly-abstraction and Photorealism. The main characteristic of her paintings is the idea of sampling. The layering of pictures from various sources interprets the structure of perception in the digital age. Starscapes and Clouds are her main source of inspiration and sometimes her landscapes are like cinematic sceneries. Wölk´s subject matter speaks of the imagery of futuristic science and technology, which we have only become familiar with from the advances of satellites, cameras and moreover in cinematography and computer-generated-images. The artist creates landscapes as a fantastical narrative, in which the simultaneity of Romanticism and Utopia become perceptible.
