Heidrun Rathgeb, Im Spiegel (In the Mirror), 2024
Monoprint, 29 × 21cm
Heidrun Rathgeb’s practice celebrates - in her words - ‘moments that feel like daily epiphanies’. Whether drawing from the dramatic landscape surrounding her home or capturing intimate moments within domesticity, Heidrun’s small-scale unique and limited edition prints explore ‘states of being’ within today’s often frenetic world.
Heidrun works using a range of traditional and contemporary printmaking techniques including woodcut, etching and monoprint. She often draws figures from life, whether at home or in nature, using family members captured in quiet domestic moments as her subjects.
This unframed monoprint is presented as part of our 2024 Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair collection. Here, the artist’s daughter Greta’s braided hair and vibrant striped jumper is reflected in the mirror; although a gently-observed portrait of sorts, we hardly see her face at all. Printed using watercolour ink, each unique work is made using more than one printing plate, resulting in a a painterly surface with saturated colour. This work is signed and titled on the back.
Heidrun was born in Germany but moved to London in 1993 to study at the Byam Shaw School of Art followed by the Slade School of Fine Art, London. Her work has been exhibited widely in solo and group exhibitions internationally. Recently, solo exhibitions of her paintings have been presented by John Martin Gallery in London (2022 and 2023), 532 Gallery Thomas Jaeckel in New York (2023), Day 01 Gallery in Sydney (2024) and Gallery Sofie van de Velde, Antwerp (2024). Oliver Projects has been proud to exhibit Heidrun’s prints at the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair as well as in regular group shows. Heidrun has undertaken artistic residencies in Norway, Denmark, France, Scotland, Spain, Italy and India.
Heidrun currently lives and works in rural South Germany, with views from her home of Lake Constance and the Alps.
