Charline Von Heyl

"Painting was a revelation, because it made me realize that mystical texts do create an abstract space of silence in the mind, which is what I want abstract painting to do. I am interested in the violated perception that forces the mind into a state of wonder, into a bewildered silence."

"You see the image one way and then slowly it dissolves, it deconstructs itself, and then reconstructs itself in another way. By showing everything, he makes one see nothing – only rhythm and pattern."

"If I discovered a reference to something that was familiar in my paintings I would erase it, wanting the painting to be something completely new, completely unexpected."

 

These references i consider very important taken from the book 'Oranges and Sardines' an Exhibition for each selected artist - one that i found of great interest was Charline Von Heyl an artist that uses layering of painting covering and revealing paints of the works, creating transparency. These quotes are how Charline Von Heyl describes her practice, what she finds most important as she talks about artist that she admires and strengthens her practice.
