In order to examine the mystical qualities of paintings via readings of their unlimited potential, Kertstin Brätsch employs psychics and mediums to challenge her own belief in painting. The artist employs complex material technologies to mesmerising ends inside clearly evident support systems like wood or steel frames.
The psychological, physical, and societal aspects in which the body may express itself are all explored in Kerstin Brätsch’s paintings. She extends beyond forms of creation, including oil paint on Mylar, digital hybrids, complex installations, and collaborations, drawing on an extensive history of painting that includes mosaics, stained glass, paper marbling, and stucco marmo.
