Claudia Rößger: Karussell  
23 February—30 March 2019    

Be-marks on the state of the ego
Caps, hats, helmets, turbans, but also animals, buildings, culinary and floral elements pile up virtuously over the faces and designate all the others. Claudia Rößger transforms these attributes from her typical arsenal of formal details.

They are sensual, playful and geometric elements. The stripes, stars, dots, zigzag lines, circles, rhombuses and checks are seedbeds of meaning that find their way into her work from various sources: Quotations from Nordic and Slavic folklore, from fairy tales and myths, from theatre and circus on the one handand from representational surroundings and nature on the other. She charges these painterly with restlessness or stringency, with pride or sadness and everything with which she charges her creatures.
