Andrea Imwiehe - Memory Room | Golden Light_06 *no reserve*

Andrea Imwiehe, winner of the art prize from AOK Nordost, Berlin/Brandenburg and scholarship holder from the Künstlerhaus Lukas in Ahrenshoop, graduated from the HbK Braunschweig Art Academy. She has been passionate about painting since her youth and now lives and works in a studio in the old imperial post office in the heart of Berlin. Her acrylic paintings are inspired by her own memories, but go beyond them. Her goal is to create an atmosphere through painting. Her artworks are now part of numerous private collections and have been exhibited in galleries, museums and renowned art exhibitions. All works are painted on high-quality wooden panels and are ready to hang. All paintings are signed on the back, numbered and have a sticker with all picture information. Shipped professionally packed in silk paper and bubble wrap. "The inspiration for the series of pictures that has been created since 2012 is a collection of slides that she received from her parents, where she saw herself playing as a child. The view focuses on the nature at your feet and in the immediate surroundings. Based on the slides, I initially tried to capture places where I was as a child and to track them by photographing them and then incorporating them into the images." So it's about memories? "Not really about memories. It's more about the question of what memories trigger in us. For example, when I see a brick wall in a factory with weeds breaking up the ground at the bottom and growing up the wall, it gives me a deep feeling of joy, where others might think it's completely ugly. And this feeling of joy is precisely linked to unconscious memories that are there from childhood. So we react to something we see, smell or hear with certain emotions because it reminds us of something. And I am investigating the sources of this sudden feeling, these triggers, with my painting."
