Charline from Heyl
Charline von Heyl (born 1960 in Mainz ) is a German painter .
Life
Charline von Heyl grew up in Bonn, she studied at the Hamburg University of Fine Arts under Jörg Immendorff and the Düsseldorf Art Academy under Fritz Schwegler .
In the early 1990s she surrounded herself with artists such as Albert Oehlen , Sigmar Polke , Martin Kippenberger and Jörg Immendorf. Despite her good relationship with them, she wanted to distance herself from them with her art style. When Friedrich Petzel offered her a solo exhibition in his gallery in the mid-1990s , she went to New York . Since then she has lived and worked alternately in New York and Marfa (Texas). Charline von Heyl is married to the painter Christopher Wool .
Von Heyl has received a lot of attention in recent years, especially in the USA. The New Yorker described her as the most exciting contemporary American artist.
To the work
Von Heyl's abstract works since 2005 were shown in their largest solo show to date in the Deichtorhallen in Hamburg in 2018. The pictures, mostly 2 × 2 m in size, avoid a uniform style, they rather show features of tachism , informal art , and often appear as spontaneous ideas. Occasionally, the outlines of bottles and bowling pins can be clearly identified. She adds a small patch of color to each of her black and white, rhythmically designed pictures as a “punch line”.
