Susanne has sent us the link to a new catalogue of her work which has just been published by Forum Kunst Rottweil. The catalogue, priced at 18 euros, will be available through the publisher's website.
[translated version of text on publisher's page]
“Beauty is something that is sought after,” says Susanne Kühn in a studio visit with Elke Buhr. And the pictures and drawings by the 1969 Leipzig-born artist operate in spaces that are as truly artificial as they are aesthetic. Susanne Kühn cites both the Renaissance painting and its gorgeous interiors, fabrics and furnishings, as well as the Japanese woodcut. A dynamic is created through the juxtaposition of different pictorial systems and the area of the space.
When Susanne Kühn speaks of her painting, she likes using terms like "painting control panel" and "research lab". For someone who studied at the School of Visual Arts, Leipzig, she has mastered the technique and is able to concentrate on the essence of painting: exploring the possibilities of the image. Hence Kühn’s paintings and drawings possess an equally aesthetic and intellectual game. So far, Susanne Kühn has primarily been received in the context of the Leipzig school and an expanded concept of realism and as well as a new romanticism. In the new works from 2007-2009, it might also become apparent that this artist living in Freiburg is undertaking a renewal of the still life and portrait painting. These new works will be shown for the first time at Kunstforum Rottweil.
