With her first Italian exhibition, entitled "Strange
Bird" the Berlin artist Antje Neppach (born 1963) is
presenting paintings, drawings and sculptures depicting
children and birds as victims of violence.
The artist works with natural materials, oil paint, canvas,
wax and plaster, with adds another dimension to the
meaning of these works, portraying violence as a force
of nature.
The works are an exercise in contrasts, the innocence of
children versus
the destruction of violence, birds as the symbol of peace
and freedom cought in the throes of power and
ultimately death. The vulnerability of life is a common
theme explored in the work of Antje Neppach.
Russel Radzinski, 2012
Erzeugnisse einer Welt der Seele
und des Ausdrucks sind
immer
häßlich vor Schönheit und schön
vor Häßlichkeit, das ist die Regel.
Es handelt sich um geistige Schönheit,
nicht um die des Fleisches,
die absolut dumm ist."
