Marina Schulze

“No Depth without Surface” provides an insight into Marina Schulze’s paintings of the last three years. Concentrated observation, detail and enlargement are the hallmarks of these works. The artist, who takes a keen interest in surfaces, depicts details of faces and bodies with an accuracy that is almost photographic. Details of skin, including every hair and every pore, are zoomed in on, creating monumental freeze frames. Figurative motifs dissolve into abstract planes, dissecting the relationship between detail and overall image, reality and perception.
