style
Kerstin Grimm is a draftsman and sculptor. Her work includes series of bronze sculptures and series of drawings, such as B. the cycle of large-format drawing collages entitled Children's Games , which has been in existence for over fifteen years . Grimm draws with classic drawing materials such as ink, charcoal, chalk and watercolors on transparent paper and later glues the fragments of various drawings, such as B. Children, animals and mythical creatures with landscape and spatial elements together to form a multi-layered picture.
These drawing collages are figurative, seemingly narrative and beguiling and disturbing at the same time. Formally, they are mixed with abstract and geometric drawing elements. Playing with chance allows realistic, formal and surreal elements to come together in such a way that the images have the logic of dreams.
