Services

After starting out in the New Objectivity style, Edith Oellers-Teuber developed representational painting that tended towards lyrical abstraction . In doing so, the painter uses the possibilities of the painterly texture as well as the possibilities of the graphic texture. While geological and biological processes are depicted as perpetual renewal, human activity in nature is subject to permanent decay. This is expressed in extensive series of images on the theme of the ruins , especially on the Rhine and in the Irish landscape.
