Hanna Roeckle's art is diverse and yet her work revolves around the question of space. Whether panels on the wall or steles in the room, the viewer is always immersed in the depths of three-dimensionality.
Starting from everyday objects, found objects or even borrowed from nature, Hanna Roeckle first sketches her objects as drawings in one of her countless templates. Crystalline forms, which nature has produced over centuries, are meticulously researched and depicted in drawing form in all their aspects. When this sketch is transferred into space, small preliminary studies follow with the help of cardboard and paper, and only then does the artist transfer her own colour studies. Each object lives from these changing colour gradients, which, depending on the point of view, give the respective body its own dimension.
These objects are to be understood as sculptures in interior and exterior spaces, standing freely in the room or hanging expansively on the wall.
And the paintings? This too intervenes in the haptics in an optical illusion. Hard-fibre panels, painted according to a precise scheme and placed next to each other, lend an effect that is seemingly tangible. Geometrically exact forms thus create a clear statement, the origin of which is based on the visual illusion of Op-Art.
The artist, who was born in Vaduz, graduated from the Hochschule für Gestaltun g in Zurich and can look back on numerous exhibitions. Her works are represented in renowned collections such as the Swiss National Bank, the Mobiliar art collection, the Roche art collection in Basel, the Hilti art foundation and the Siemens AG collection, to name but a few. Commissions in public spaces and works specially executed on existing spaces complete her artistic oeuvre.
Hanna Roeckle's work is celebrating its premiere in Vienna and we are very pleased about the first solo exhibition and the collaboration.
