art - that is man - Vincenz van Gogh-
Floren Tina Gekeler's artistic
journey is not limited
to her home country. Through art encounters in Myanmar,
she was introduced to the traditional art and unique
materials of the Mekong Delta in Vietnam. Inspired by
cultural travel and a focus on art in Asia, South America,
North Africa and especially Italy, she has expanded her
knowledge of art and created numerous works, which are
presented in this exhibition.
The artist's works are created from the impressions of her
experiences, with encounters with people from different
cultures, particularly from Central America and India,
having a significant influence on her art. The diversity of
representations and customs that she has experienced on
her travels is reflected in her works.
Gekeler's works are designed to draw the viewer's
attention through color and representation. Her love of the
colors blue to turquoise is clearly recognizable. Mysticism
is not neglected in her works either. The mysterious often
lies hidden. Inspired by the hybrid creatures of Greek
mythology, in which gods were depicted as humanoids
with animal heads, the artist places animal heads on
women's bodies and covers them with a lace cloak that
conceals secrets.
In her works, the talented artist Floren Tina Gekeler reveals
her preference for canvas as a surface. Here she can
precisely control the application of paint and express the
colors in a compact way. Opting for larger formats allows
her to bring her artistic ideas fully to life. She has often
found that a smaller picture format, for her about 100x100
cm, does not meet the space requirements of her ideas.
Acrylic paint is Floren Tina Gekeler's favorite and color
pigments are her faithful companions. Depending on the
motif, she uses them in combination with other colors to
create a harmonious composition. She is particularly
interested in mixtures that create textural effects and give
her works a fascinating depth. Applying several layers of
paint creates the desired expression that makes her works
of art shine. Her water paintings are a particular highlight
in Gekeler's repertoire. She likes to use resin to enhance
the look of water. This technique lends her works a unique
vibrancy and allows the viewer to literally immerse
themselves in the depths of the water.
