Marina Schulze

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marina Schulze (* 1973 in Delmenhorst ) is a German visual artist .

Life

She grew up in the rural Ganderkesee in the Oldenburger Land . From 1991 to 1994 she trained as a display designer . She then studied fine arts from 1996 to 1998 at the University of the Arts in Social Ottersberg , from 1999 to 2004 at the University of the Arts Bremen with Stefan Kürten and Katharina Grosse and in 2003 as part of a study visit to the Icelandic Art Academy (Listaháskóli Íslands) in Reykjavík. From 2004 until her graduation in 2005 she was a master class student with Karin Kneffel at the University of the Arts in Bremen.

After working in New York in 2006, followed by various residency scholarships , she held a substitute professorship at the Ottersberg University of the Arts from 2017 to 2018. Schulze is a member of the Bremen Artists' Association, GEDOK . In 2019 she was a member of the jury for the Willi Oltmanns Prize. She lives and works with her family in the Falkenburg district of Ganderkesee and in Bremen, where she has a studio in Neustadt . Among the artists who are particularly important for Schulze are the Swiss Alberto Giacometti , whose portrait painting impressed her especially before her studies, and the backgrounds and forms in the abstract painting by Charline von Heyl .

Marina Schulze photographs her motifs and then paints them on large-format canvases. For the panorama pictures of several meters in size and width, she first works in front of the picture, then later on a mobile frame with which she can move over the canvas to paint. She always applies more layers to the base layer of acrylic paint . Schulze dispenses with descriptive titles in her pictures in order to allow the viewer to develop their own associations.

She often enlarges image sections with details of surfaces to many times their normal size, so that the structures depicted in her images no longer show any reference to the original object. The alienation results from the choice of the image section and the sometimes strong zooming in. “Her pictures are often so big that one threatens to lose track of things and to a certain extent tip the painting into the non-representational. At the same time, it is characterized by an astonishing photorealism ”. She works in series. In many cases it varies the different topics. Light, water, clouds, skin and hair are recurring elements. In her pictures of skin and hair, there are no images of “purely aestheticized body parts”. "Rather, the claim to a relentlessly unadorned presentation that reveals every flaw and every little detail characterizes her work".

Since 2007 she has been playing with perspectives in her “Raumbilder” , thereby creating optical illusions . In Iceland she painted the original landscape before the flooding as a monumental mural on a dam wall. “Her spatial works are based on this initial inspiration, and they have an installation character, even if they are actually painted.” In reverse of the trompe l'œil technique, she paints objects, furniture or room elements in such a way that they disappear in the room, such as a bench in the Städtische Galerie Delmenhorst 2008, which visually merges with the parquet flooring around it, a column in the Städtische Galerie Bremen 2009, which it painted in such a way that it is almost invisible to the viewer, or a corner of the room in 2009 that when approaching it turns out to be a corner of the wall protruding into the room. "Objects in the room, a cube, a column, a bench or a partition are painted on their visible front in such a way that from a certain point they reproduce the space behind them, which they hide as things, as a deceptively real painting".

In addition, she began in 2011 with her “light images”, for which she projects light patterns, grids or organic structures such as mushroom lamellas onto naked bodies and faces, photographs them and then paints them on canvas.
