Regine Schumann studied fine arts at the Braunschweig University of Art from 1982 to 1989 . In 1989 she was recognized as a master class student by Roland Dörfler . From 1986 to 1994 she was a member of the artist group Freiraum , consisting of Frank Fuhrmann, Dieter Hinz and her. In addition to numerous grants (including a DAAD grant for Italy in 1990 and a grant from the state of North Rhine-Westphalia for Japan in 2000) and commissions for art in public spaces, she received the Leo Breuer Prize in 2006 . Regine Schumann lives and works as a freelance artist in Cologne .

In her work, Regine Schumann focuses on light effects that arise from fluorescent materials. She uses, among other things, colored poly light cords and different colored acrylic glass panes , which she assembles into bodies of color, following Goethe's theory of colors . Black light is also used as a varying medium. The focus of her room installations is the expansion of the existing architecture by a dimension of vibration and - as she calls it - the design of “room temperatures”: “The inclusion of sculptural principles such as hanging, laying, arranging, bracing, enveloping is characteristic of Regine's work Schumanns and transfers thinking in terms of colors and color spaces into a three-dimensionally tangible plasticity. "

Regine Schumann describes her way of working: “The material of the colored and fluorescent acrylic glass plays an important role here. The material I use lights up as soon as light energy is supplied to it, be it in the form of natural daylight or artificial light. Depending on the location, the differently colored panels result in shining through, layering, mixing and selecting. ”It is these difficult to name, constantly changing effects of light that she addresses in her installations and works.
