Artist

Christa Schmid-Ehrlinger “Searching” is a central concept of my artistic expression. So I create my objects and paintings by searching: movements, playing with fixed signs, graphic elements, traces, “constructed” randomness, and striving for form. I am fascinated by materiality, unique material, threads, and strings And then: Materials find their ideas, and ideas find their materials. In my artistic act, I understand and practice in a symbolic way the connections, orders, and relationships between things. Therefore: Painting is searching. It is moving. It is writing your own signs. It is moving in your inner life. It is wrapping around, linking up, making gestures and rhythms. The way of proceeding is the way of transformation. Life is: To transform oneself and to be transformed. www.schmid-ehrlinger.de
