About Anne Böddeker
At the border where states of matter merge, at the edge between sea and sky, Anne Böddeker (born in 1966) invites the viewer to stop for a moment.
The view of the sea, a person on the beach, the play of light, the longing for the perfection of nature - are just some of the themes to which the artist devotes herself with her oil paintings. She deals with the theme of the sea in all its facets, from the German North Sea to the Pacific Ocean. The paintings show turbulent waters as well as quiet moments of contemplation in the misty German Wadden Sea, always reflecting human existence, silence and emotions.
"In my paintings, I always take a close look at the sea in its intensity and contradictoriness, the moment between beauty and threat, the transience of the moment and how we humans find ourselves in it."
For her new series, the artist visited the Nevada desert for the "Burning Man Festival". The art event draws 70,000 people each year into a surreal, "Mad Max"-like world. In the dust storm of the desert, Böddeker found new motifs, which she captured back in her studio.
Anne Böddeker lives and works in Hamburg. She has been exhibiting regularly in solo exhibitions in Germany and Finland for 20 years.
A one-of-a-kind or unique piece is a work of art personally created by the artist. It exists only once due to the type of production (oil painting, watercolour, drawing, lost-wax sculpture etc.).
In addition to the classic unique pieces, there are also the so-called "serial unique pieces". They present a series of works with the same colour, motif and technique, manually prepared by the same artist. The serial unique pieces are rooted in "serial art", a genre of modern art that aims to create an aesthetic effect through series, repetitions, and variations of the same objects or themes or a system of constant and variable elements or principles.
The historical starting point is considered to be Claude Monet's "Les Meules" (1890/1891), where, for the first time, a series was created that went beyond a mere group of works. The other artists, who addressed to the serial art, include Claude Monet, Piet Mondrian and above all Gerhard Richter.
