Life

Christiane Werner was born and raised in Berlin as the daughter of Inge Werner and the architect Claus-Peter Werner . After her apprenticeship with high school diploma as a toolmaker , which she successfully completed in 1985, she worked for a year in the design office in what was then Lautex in Upper Lusatia .

From 1986 to 1989 she studied at the traditional art academy in Berlin-Weißensee with professors Max Görner and Friedrich Porsdorf, among others, and in 1989 switched to the specialist class for painting / graphic textile arts with Professor Inge Götze at Burg Giebichenstein Kunsthochschule Halle . Supervised by Inge Götze , Ulrich Müller-Reimkasten and Renate Luckner-Bien, she graduated in 1994 with wall painting and design concepts for the rooms of a music school.

This was followed by a master’s / postgraduate degree and in 1995 a graduate scholarship from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), which led her to a study visit to Perugia ( Italy ) at the Accademia di Belle Arti “Pietro Vanucci” .

Since then she has been a freelance artist and since 2007 has been working in her studio in the Leipzig cotton spinning mill , which houses around 100 well-known artists with their studios and over 10 galleries and the associated infrastructure.

Christiane Werner has been a board member of the Association of Visual Artists Leipzig eV (BBKL eV) for many years . She is also a member of the Leipziger Grafikbörse eV

graphic

The prints by Christiane Werner often combine different techniques: colored woodcuts and linocuts, material prints and drawings. The works are mostly unique , they are primarily created by hand printing on Japanese paper.

Your collotype prints are made in the collotype workshop in the Museum of Printing Art in Leipzig . In this elaborate process, glass plates coated with gelatine are used as print media. The technology is only used in one of the few workshops worldwide - e.g. B. in Kyoto in Japan - and is still considered a process with inimitable print quality. She took on, among other things Lichtdruck Symposium in the Museum of Printing Arts Leipzig part.

illustration

Christiane Werner created historical reconstructions of the Moritzburg in Halle (Saale) , which was badly destroyed in the Thirty Years War , for which Archbishop Ernst laid the foundation stone in 1488. These are based on some contemporary images, on our own research and on floor plans from the Halle Monument Preservation Office .

Her drawings for the Museum der Westlausitz reconstruct jewelry and clothing from the Bronze Age .

In her longstanding artistic project work with children in the Handel House in Halle (Saale) , didactic materials were created. More of her illustrations can be found in the textbooks published by Schott Musik International for instrumental lessons.

With her prints and drawings she enters into dialogue with the texts of the writers Constanze John and Viktor Kalinke .

tapestry

Carpets have been a part of human life for centuries and are of interest to Christiane Werner in her creative work: Gobelins as representative sculptures, kilims in life without sedentariness and precious embroidery for secular and sacred spaces.

She endeavors to use these materials to influence the acoustics , the room climate , the lighting conditions and the senses .

Artist statement

Christiane Werner examines parts of fictional and real perception processes in connection with her own synaesthetic experiences, and she deals with the feeling for time and growth.
