Marlis Albrecht
Marlis Albrecht (born October 23, 1956 in Ludwigsburg , Baden-Württemberg ) is a German painter.
Life
Albrecht was born in Poppenweiler (today a district of Ludwigsburg). She spent the first 6 years of her life with her family in the grandfather's nursery outside the village near the forest. As a child she drew heads. After finishing school, she completed an apprenticeship and worked for a few years. In 1984, after a long trip through Cuba and Mexico, she decided to devote herself entirely to her artistic activity. She began distance learning and in 1987/88 she went on to study at the free art school in Stuttgart. Then she began to autonomously develop her own visual language.
Marlis Albrecht is the mother of two children and lives in Möglingen near Stuttgart .
She is a member of the Association of Visual Artists of Württemberg.

After years of experimentation in which large groups of works, such as B. Concrete mixers or villages, cities, places emerged, she discovered in beeswax the material that determines her current work.
Marlis Albrechts' work is characterized by her special material beeswax, with which she has been working and experimenting since 1994. She colors the wax with pigments and applies it to wooden panels with a brush or spatula . By scraping and scratching as well as by adding cold wax tempera and superimposing different layers, complex sculptures with partly relief-like surfaces are created. This technique enables a special kind of color, the intensity of which is determined by the composition and density of the pigment in the liquid wax. According to Albrecht, the wax lies “as a 'living material' on the picture carrier, without being burned in”, which is why the term encaustic is too short for her. It is "rather a painting out of the wax".
The creative use of the material wax opens up artistic possibilities for her in the interplay with the “inside and outside of the human face, of the surface and the inside, which is at the same time also a game with the ambiguous or the ambivalent. Marlis Albrecht succeeds in this double play of the paradox between the visualization of the thought and the felt behind the facade of the face. "
Until 2011 her only topic was people. Since 2011, Albrecht has been concentrating on a second major theme, the forest, in addition to figurative representations. Her series Walden calls for "contemplative or vitally vibrating landscapes". “Similar to the Romantics and Neo-Romantics, the topography is always overlaid with a soul landscape. [...] The idea of the symbolism of the forest, which has to stand above the atmospheric image, gives the position view of the forest motif the contemporary. "
Her works are in public and private collections.
