life and work
Bettina Rave grew up in Baden-Baden and on Lake Constance. She has lived in Berlin since 1980, where she graduated from high school in 1982. From 1983 to 1988 she completed the diploma course in Visual Communication at the University of the Arts in Berlin (now the University of the Arts ) with Bernhard Boes and Helmut Lortz . In 1989 she studied painting and 16mm film at the Rhode Island School of Design and Brown University in the USA. In 1990 she completed her studies as a master class student with Wolfgang Ramsbott at the HdK, since then she has worked as a freelance visual artist. Her work has been shown at numerous exhibitions at home and abroad.
"Bettina Rave deals with the dialectic of image and material" and "converts this discourse into sensual, visual, color-intensive images." The mutual penetration of the media painting and video is characteristic of her art, "her work takes on its own position between media and painting." Another focus of her work is the visual examination of writing, texts and sign systems.
