Barbara Rosengarth
In her works, Barbara Rosengarth makes use of the reproduction and variation of patterns using basic geometric elements. Originally, the folding of fabrics served the artist as inspiration and also as a model. Over time, this pattern became independent and only the title "Pli" still refers to the starting point of her painting and drawing work. Here, the non-exact folding is the decisive compositional element for the irregularities in the patterning: diagonally running lines cut the pattern, dilute it or swallow it completely and thus form new, random structures. The oblique meeting of the pattern sections marks the places where the fabric could roll over in folds and bulges.
Barbara Rosengarth was born in 1964 in Münster, she lives and works in Bremen. After studying art and music education in Münster, she studied free painting at the HfK Bremen with Prof. Rolf Thiele and Prof. Peter W. Schaefer, becoming a master student in 2001.
