March 7 - March 28
Opening reception Saturday, March 7, 12-4 pm
Andrea Damp’s painting revolves around the landscape as a bearer of memory and identity. The starting point is her homeland, the island of Rügen, whose coasts, expanses, and distinctive light are transformed into a personal and consistent visual language.
Her works are characterized by a subtle interplay between narrative impulses and non-representational painting. The landscape is freed from mere depiction and opened up into pictorial spaces where perception, memory, and imagination meet. Through colour, texture, and rhythm, an experience is conveyed rather than a place – a landscape that emerges as emotionally and atmospherically present.
The exhibition title Shifting Horizons refers to the ever-changing perspectives between the outer landscape and the inner experience. In Andrea Damp’s painting, the horizon does not appear as a fixed boundary but as a changing transition – between now and then, between nature and inner space.
