10 MARCH – 14 APRIL 2024

During Andrea Lehnert’s solo exhibition, the rugged landscape of Iceland is the source of inspiration. Andrea Lehnert  paints with rapid, thick brushstrokes on rough, unprocessed canvas, where she used various printing techniques, especially for this exhibition.

A solo exhibition by Andrea Lehnert.

The work of Andrea Lehnert moves between the abstract and the concrete, the rational and the unreasonable. She finds parallels with the times we live in, a world in which rationality and madness come together. Lehnert’s work is a psychological journey in time, what remains visible and what is covered. But also, how does her work relate to art historical painters such as Velasquez and Matisse. Lehnert’s landscapes manifest themselves as large-scale visual events. Any human bodies present tell a smaller and quieter story. Andrea Lehnert’s mainly large paintings were created without a preconceived plan. She applies colors incoherently, blurs them and places accents with pastel and oil chalk and paint. Mountains, valleys and lava flows are formed. Her work is twofold. Lehnert wants to bring order, so that those who view them can orient themselves. At the same time, she shows landscapes that are about to explode, that want to burst out colors and explode structures.
