Gisela Krohn

For over twenty years, Gisela Krohn (*1966) has made landscapes the focus of her paintings. In Krohn’s large-scale works, humans appear only in the form of the mark they have left on nature. She depicts asphalt roads and man-made pathways cutting through forests, attesting to human intervention into nature. For Gisela Krohn, this exploration of the landscape also always involves looking into herself and her relationship with the environment. With her subtle play of colour and fascinating compositions, the artist succeeds in capturing the beauty of nature while simultaneously highlighting the threat it is under.
