life and work

Christine Leins studied philosophy from 1990 at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and free art at the Mainz Art School . a. with Cornelia Hesse-Honegger . In 1996 she received a scholarship and in 1997 a diploma in drawing.

The technique of point glaze, in which countless layers of transparent points superimposed on one another, constitute the form, was decisive for her work. With the artistic process, which is extremely slowed down by this technique, she expresses one of the fundamental themes of her artistic work: the silence of things, the representation of the in-self-rest of objects and thus the in-itself rest of the world.

From 1992 onwards, she began exploring things. First on the isolated object, then from 1999 onwards in the expansion to entire still lifes, to the order of things. The crisis of the first approach takes place in the increasing awareness of "what actually interests me: structure, light, layering and compression, transparency".

The centered square motifs created from 2005 onwards are more restrained and more meditative in their interaction on the wide surrounding paper surfaces. They are a means of immersion in the depths of the room, in the change of the differently dense color surfaces, in their suggestion of tactile qualities.Since 2007, they have been transferring the cotton wool dots that appeared in 2005, dissolving form contours and fraying edges into the medium of ink drawings.

In 2010 , the Angermuseum Erfurt dedicated a solo exhibition and a catalog book (“Drawing the Beginning”) to the colored ink drawings .
