Artist

Charline von Heyl

Painting

Charline von Heyl is a German artist known for her endlessly layered, enigmatic paintings, drawings, and colleges filled with surprising juxtapositions and interactions. Von Heyl’s pursuit of abstraction is driven by a desire to invent something that has not yet been seen. Her canvases are as thoughtful and cerebral as they are aesthetically balanced, imbued with flashes of humor and poetic depth with an almost printed, two-dimensional quality. Despite its seeming spontaneity, her work is a result of an intensive painterly process where layered brushstrokes and powerful swaths of color clamor for space, creating unexpected collisions and moments of conflict.
