"Geierhos' works are memories of lived situations. Abstract and representational impressions (...),which, in a powerful yet lyrical, intricate and richly textured playfulness, become more of an overall atmospheric sensation than an exact reproduction of what was seen. Pictorial worlds - sensitive, raw, tangible."

from an article by the newspaper BNN in Karlsruhe

"She plays with what the eye sees - or believes it has seen - interconnecting not only multiple spatial planes but also merging different temporal layers. In doing so, she creates dense, complex pictorial worlds that unfold in a narrative timelessness, becoming sensual memories through the combination of various techniques, styles, and surface textures."

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 figures carry just as much weight as cities like Jerusalem or Rio de Janeiro, thus honoring the different kinds of spaces shaping her experience and values.

"Sabine wants to work on these connecting elements. She finds them, among other things, in recurring symbols and concepts that appear across cultures, such as the cyclical path as a process of development. The artist explores Celtic mythology, heroic journeys, and the myth of Finisterre."

"The artist, who studied at the Karlsruhe Art Academy of Fine Arts unter Erwin Gross, instead gathered impressions and situations, atmospheres and moods during her travels. She seeks what is ordinary, characteristic, and telling about the city. (...) Geierhos layers and stacks different perspectives within and on top of one another, intertwined views, and pushes vantage points together and apart."

About Sabine

Sabine finds a sense of grounding by shaping a variety of environments on canvas, which have deeply influenced her. Her work reflects a continual longing for spiritual orientation, personal, familial and cultural history, and the process of uncovering, which is evident in the colors, lines, figures and contrasts that belong together but can hardly be taken in all at once.
