Predominantly working with large-format linen and
various techniques, Nadine Schemmann’s
work translates encounters, conversations, and
moments in diverse shades on the canvas to engage in
emotional interactions. The process involves dying
or bleaching the material to then be covered with
ink, oil paint or chlorine bleach, resulting in
striking, but unexpected color paths forming
organic, endlessly changeable edges on the linen
canvas. With a desire to expand her color palette,
Schemmann materializes feelings as different shades
to create an expressive and sensory visual language
translating encounters as the deepest and most
honest form of dialogue.
Reflecting the
fragility of interpersonal relationships,
Schemmann's paintings find their origin in the
interstice that results when two people meet –
crafting the space which remains free of color and
that which is delimited by cut edges and seams. Only
sometimes she stretches the linen fabrics on frames,
never banishing them behind glass. Often, they hang
freely in a space, or in nature, where they are
exposed to wind and weather, where the color and
fabric change with time. Just as interpersonal
relationships cannot be preserved and made durable,
Schemmann does not place this expectation on her
paintings.
