Andrea Damp – Landscape as Narrated Homeland
Andrea Damp’s painting is devoted to landscape as a bearer of memory and identity. At the heart of her work lies her homeland, the island of Rügen, whose coasts, expanses, and distinctive light she translates into a singular visual language.
Characteristic of her work is the virtuoso interplay between narrative elements and non-representational painting: Damp releases the landscape from mere depiction and transforms it into open pictorial spaces where perception, memory, and imagination overlap. Color, structure, and rhythm carry the narrative. Landscape becomes not only visible, but experientially present as an emotional and atmospheric realm.
The exhibition title Shifting Horizons points to constantly changing perspectives between landscape and inner perception. In Andrea Damp’s works, horizons do not appear as fixed lines, but as fluid transitions—between present and memory, between external nature and inner experience.
