| About the Artist |
Colorspraying art, desire-stressed forms – art with perspective
"Judith Grote is a versatile artist, who surprises by not being predictable and
contrary to many colleague artists, a positive attitude is her business card. which she passes on to the people through her works of art. Here, she does not restrict herself to a certain medium. Her unabashed style reflects her personality."
Miranda den Elzen, Galeria D’Artecon, Ascona, CH
Judith Grote - enfant terrible of the world of art - sets her work in her own desire-stressed form and color language. She works consciously in counterpoint to the world of reduction. Her colorspraying art pieces do not only document a positive feeling of life, but express
her consistent converting of her philosophy, "art makes you happy" in her plastics, photographies and paintings. In an expressive, almost surrealistic way Judith Grote combines creativity and communication to an aesthetic experience against the common view of art.
Many artists believe that the substantial, the truth, can only be found in art works, that do not aim anymore on a visual benefit, but on intellectual irritation. The representation of the beautiful one gives way to the ugly one, the concrete disappears more and more behind the abstraction. Intellectual irritation is the principle of today's time.
Judith Grotes art pieces irritate through the removal of this principle. It is the desire in the production. The desire to unite things, which apparently do not belong together, this distinguishes the art pieces of Judith Grote. Symbioses of colours and forms develop, symbioses between art, design and nature. With a freshness unusual for the art business and aliveness, she dares herself on new terrain.
Exotic as well as everyday moments and unspectacular phenomena of nature inspire her. At the same time she reflects independently on the style-forming artistic models, which she takes up self-confidently in the typical Judith Grote manner to develop them further. Thus space-accessing plastics, accented pictures and even provocative installations emerge, simultaneously they point at social and culturally deplorable state of affairs.
