Sara Rogenhofer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sara Rogenhofer (born 1950 in Amberg ) is a German visual artist. She lives and works in Munich .

Life

During her studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich from 1973 to 1980, she co-founded the painting group WeibsBilder (1977–1988). Sara Rogenhofer stands in a tradition that has developed a colorful, fantastic, figurative, mythical and experimental world of images from the abstract expressionism and informel of the post-war period, primarily through the Cobra group. This artistic direction was continued in Munich in connection with artist groups such as SPUR or Geflecht . Sara Rogenhofer became known to a broad art audience as a co-founder of the painting collective WeibsBilder, which existed from 1977 to 1988, which tried to use the means of expressive painting and community images to explore whether there is such a thing as a female imagination.

Florian Rötzer writes in an exhibition catalog, among other things: " Sara Rogenhofer's pictures are not only created from working with the materiality and thus also the spatiality of the colors, but they are also the result of a dialogue that takes place over a more or less long period of time this materiality applied layer by layer with physical gestures on the canvas and the imagination or imagination that takes up the resulting spaces and shapes and drives them on. "
