Sabine Geierhos

Sabine Geierhos’s works have been said to hold the full range of human experience. Together the myriad overlapping spaces create a forceful, uneven and mystic surface, and this conflict between elements on a canvas is a meditation on the sometimes smooth, sometimes violent gathering of the disparate elements of an identity.

Her works display a clever interaction of various materials and painting techniques, often involving acrylic, oil, watercolor, ink, varnish, polished stone, sand and binder. Spatial depth, a sense of grandeur and distance in the natural world and waterscapes, and hauntingly meaningful objects and figurescarry just as much weight as cities like Jerusalem or Rio de Janeiro, thus honoring the different kinds of spaces shaping her experience and values.
