plant

Grids and serial structures are basic elements of Fiene Scharp's work, which they combine to form a fine grid of lines. The organic idiosyncrasy of the materials, such as paper cuts, fine graphite leads or hair, and the manual manufacturing process lead to minimal irregularities, differences and irritations of the otherwise strict grid.

"Your craftsmanship, striving for perfection in execution, deliberately meets the intrinsic vitality and the limits of controllability [of] the material."

Paper cuts

A main component of the artistic work are the diverse paper cut drawings in different formats and forms. The medium to large-format, sometimes multi-layered paper grids are mostly based on antiquarian grid papers from the technical, scientific field as the starting point. The spaces between the rulings are cut out with a scalpel, so that only the coordinate lines remain as a fragile network, a "tectonic framework".

Hanging freely in the room, the papercuts show their ambivalence between two- and three-dimensionality, between graphics and sculpture. The change process is included in the work, which partially takes into account the dissolution of the grid.

Hair drawings

Since 2009 Fiene Scharp has been working on so-called hair drawings, which move in the border area between drawing and object art. These mostly large-format works look like drawings at first glance, but on closer inspection it becomes clear that here, in small-scale work, tiny hairs that are centimeter or even millimeter short, sometimes invisible at first glance, have been arranged in a strict grid. The geometric hair drawings are based on a detailed, drawn grid, in whose nodes the hair was individually applied. The works stand in the interplay between drawing and object and let the hair become a line in space. Scharp interrupts the basic principle that connects with the grid, its uniformity and structure, by using the natural conditions of the hair, which expands differently according to the surrounding dryness and humidity.

"In this way, the square shape becomes an organic body of symbols that arches and sinks, creating a differentiated play with light and shadow. The visual tension to which the grid is subjected creates a positive potential for conflict. It demonstrates the viewer that the structure of a grid always has to be renegotiated. "

Fiene Scharp's use of hair challenges the boundaries between the viewer and the work: the sight stimulates touching things, but also creates “a moment of disgust. The hair gives the [works] an unexpectedly biomorphic, at times also erotic but altogether strange life of its own ”. The artist plays with the perception of softness and firmness, of physical and lifeless appearance, of attraction and repulsion. In this way she elicits “sublime and hidden sensations” from the viewer. Fiene Scharp's works with skin and hair "tentatively confront us with our physicality, its limits, permeability, integrity and dissolution," writes the Austrian art portal CastYourArt.com .

Video and film work

Her video works also play with the moment of sensory expansion.

In 2007 she exhibited three works in the studio of the Neuer Berliner Kunstverein , which dealt with the limits of the physical perception of indoor and outdoor space.

In her video headband , you can see a wrist to which fine linear hair is applied. This video work was projected vertically from above onto a pedestal, so that associations with the piece of jewelry are awakened and the boundaries of corporeality and objectivity are reflected.

The skin, on which one experiences the state of separation as well as the permeability and the surface to touch and feel, plays an important role in Fiene Scharp's work alongside hair. The video work beside me shows how metal letters are pressed into skin and then the fading of the pressure marks. This video was projected onto the window front of the gallery in order to use this surface to thematize the boundary between exterior and interior, between body and object.

The moment of time, of intervention, of change is also the subject of her video works.
