Sibylle Wagner

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sibylle Wagner , married Wagner-Quinte, (* 1952 in Stuttgart ) is a German painter , performance and installation artist.

Life

Sibylle Wagner studied art and German literature in Stuttgart and Karlsruhe. In 1981 she settled in Karlsruhe as a freelance artist. In the same year she founded the 1st Karlsruhe producer gallery , which she accompanied until 1987. From 1984 to 1986 she worked in a studio community in Ettlingen that she had co-founded. Meanwhile, she made the acquaintance of the painter Lothar Quinte , whom she married in 1987. In 1990 their daughter Norina was born.

From 1985 to 1994 Wagner worked annually with Quinte for three months in India. From 1987 the couple merged their studios in Wintzenbach , Alsace . Even after the death of Lothar Quinte in 2000, the studio in Wintzenbach remained. She opened a second studio in 2003 in Berlin-Mitte.

plant

Sibylle Wagner has worked with video and performance art. Her mostly non-figurative paintings on paper or wood, which she reworks with Plexiglas and fine layers of acrylic, create a "feeling of space of almost infinite depth" through their transparency.

In 2000 Sibylle Wagner designed three church windows in the renovated chapel of Champenay in Alsace together with Lothar Quinte. The artistically designed stained glass windows, which can be read as a representation of the Trinity , were the first work on the road of contemporary art between France and Italy to be realized in a place of worship.

In 2014 Sibylle Wagner took part in the exhibition Hauptsache Grau # 04 Constructed Gray in the Mies van der Rohe House in Berlin. She dedicated her work entitled Rikyu Gray to the gray of the Japanese tea master Sen no Rikyu (1522–1591). It is an installation consisting of a gray circle painted on the wall and an optical lens suspended in front of it. “With its eastern and zen-oriented view, the work Rikyugrau by Sibylle Wagner forms a cornerstone of the exhibition. Rikyu gray has had a firm place in Japanese culture for 500 years and is still celebrated in songs today. "( Wita Noack )
