Biography

Birgit Nadrau makes impressive canvases by transforming them into the surfaces of water or other nature-based motifs through the use of acrylic paint and aluminum leafs which she fixes on the canvas in an extremely complicated and long lasting technique.
She‘s recreating the exact moment of experiencing a certain view into nature. The painting materials she‘s using are as much unorthodox as they are perfectly placed: everyone of her paintings is drawing the beholder into a melancholic mesmerization through its own shining yet still grisaille optics.
Depending on the incidence of light, the sheet aluminum shines more or less and the translucent primer in acrylic colors gains more or less plasticity. Thus, especially with the pictures with the branches, the impression arises that the viewer looks through a window into the nature.
