The German artist Anne Loch (1946–2014), who lived partly in Switzerland from the 1980s onwards, played with the conventions of representation and plumbed the limits of painting: in monumental paintings of mountains, flowers, animals and insects, she creates a quiet tension.
What seems at first glance idyllic and even clichéd, on closer inspection eludes unambiguous description. Boundaries between the figurative and the abstract, between painting and drawing, between reality and dream are blurred. Line, colour, plane and the quest for the correct relationships between these fundamental elements of painting step into the foreground. With some 70 works, the exhibition at the Zentrum Paul Klee pursues Anne Loch’s engagement with the medium of painting and the dissolution of her motifs.
