Cornelia Schleime

Cornelia Schleime is one of the most important artists of our time. Her subjects are almost always women, in painting, drawings and watercolours. Her figures are based as much on the eroticism of the line as on a mythical interplay of the human being and the animal being.
Her pictures, some of which are large in scale, exert a fascination that cannot be escaped. Cornelia Schleime achieves something special: she knows instinctively how to generate the individual in an explosion of colour, immerse a body line into a reflection of light and integrate actions into the intimacy of a self-reflection.
