The Städtische Galerie presents an artist whose creative power confidently asserts itself against ideologies, zeitgeist and fashions. During her studies at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts, she rebelled against the cultural policies of the GDR. She was refused admission to the then Association of Visual Artists. in 1984, she was expatriated from the GDR and her early work as a painter was lost. Unadapted and with enormous intensity, she developed her personal style, which could not be categorised. Her artistic work is full of creative originality, always intense and multi-layered. Painting and drawing, photography and performance as well as poetry are her aesthetic means in a continuous act of penetrating the present and exploring her own identity.
