Jorinde Voigt
Since the mid-2000s Jorinde Voigt has developed a highly idiosyncratic graphic system for the visualization of experimental arrangements, experiences of reality, thoughts, sensory impressions, philosophical writings and music - a system which is continually developing and expanding through the addition of new elements. Voigt translates the objects under investigation into a grammar of her own, which then finds expression, sometimes as a meticulously drawn system of lines and script, sometimes as turbulently dashed specks of paint, colored collages or gold leaf inlays. She makes no distinction between abstraction and figuration, between the regularities of an algorithm and the spontaneity of freehand drawing, but rather, she explores the two poles of these supposedly rigid opposites within one and the same drawing, allowing things begun with precision and exactitude to shed all restraint in an unforeseen gestural fling.
Jorinde Voigts works are represented in several collections, including Art Institute of Chicago; Center Pompidou, Paris; Kunsthaus, Zurich; The Morgan Library & Museum, New York; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich; Staatliche Graphische Sammlung, Munich and Kupferstichkabinett, Berlin and others.
