The sensual appearance of a substance - such as in my case usually the pastyiness of oil paint - plays an important role in my work. While working on the larger paintings of water lillies on paper, I was surprised by the effect of the white flowers painted thickly on paper only primed with glue and by how the oil paint ran.

Virtual 7: Katharina Gierlach - Across the Pond
Travelling is in general considered to be a source of inspiration. A different environment, a foreign language and new acquaintances sharpen the senses und open one's mind. In the autumn of 2016 the painter Katharina Gierlach (formerly Dietlinger) spent several weeks in New York and Virginia. Through a stipend from the Oberpfälzer Künstlerhaus she spent six weeks at the Virgina Center for the Creative Arts (VCCA).In Virginia she met artist colleagues from other disciplines. This exchange, combined with a break from daily routine, as well as the opportunity to experiment are what makes centers such as VCCA so unique. The virtual exhibition shown here is a result of her stay abroad. It is a combination of photographs that Katharina Gierlach made while travelling and of paintings she made at her studio at VCCA. She explains why she took certain snapshots, what she sees in them and what she watches out for.
