In 2018 we saw Johanna Bath‘s painting for the first time in the glass elephant in Hamm. Fascinated by the special mixing technique of oil, acrylic, spray paints and neon and the motifs that really touched us, we contacted Johanna quite quickly. In 2019, she showed her artwork at märz | manufaktur in Paderborn.
„In my works, I explore the construct of TIME and look for ways to create this abstract, make an invisible phenomenon tangible and accessible through painting. I am interested in the emotional and nostalgic component, which is associated with time and transience (key terms are for example fate, timing, coincidence, etc.). An atmosphere of silence and intimacy between image and viewer is just as important to me as a playful, partly concrete, partly abstract visual language, which provides space for a individual interpretation.“
