Outdoor sculpture "Springer I" (2018) by Dagmar Vogt

The fusion of abstraction and objectivity, in a thematic connection with the decay of nature, is characteristic of the creation of Dagmar Vogt. The artist, born near Cologne in 1960, is a concern in painting as well as in plastic to find out the boundaries from the anatomical to the free sculptural representation. In her relief -like and large -format images, she captures the atmosphere of nature with its mountains, lakes and plants: "The cycle of life, nature and its cycle are eternally new topics for me." Series such as "blooming and withering" and "flowers on the river", which seem fairytale, like moments from dreams - never clear, always blurred. The decay of the bright flowers seems to become visible in a single moment due to the abstracted painting style. Dagmar Vogt works with many gradations of a color and manufactures a number of pre -sketches.
