ROTRAUT

Rotraut’s Cosmos Inspiration at DE SARTHE Gallery will highlight her Galaxy paintings that act as awe-inspiring windows into the cosmic expanse, where her artistic vision intersects with the vastness of the universe.

Born and raised in the untamed landscapes of Germany, Rotraut’s odyssey led her through the vibrant streets of Paris to the sun-soaked American Southwest. Her cosmopolitan influences are not only evident in her works but also in her seamless integration of three languages and cultures into her artistic expression.

Rotraut’s philosophy, rooted in the belief that ‘nature is the essence’, distinguishes her from her contemporaries. Embracing intuition and instinct, she disregards trends in her work. Her works, described by her as ‘free of cerebral’, undergo intellectual analysis beforehand, allowing the creative process to flow unencumbered by the intellect.

Exposure to Pierre Restany’s rigorous theorising through her late husband Yves Klein, guided Rotraut towards a distinctive path. Her art is a thoughtful endeavor, with pre-analysis enabling the creation of works that resonate with sincerity and coherence. Her unending fascination with the cosmos and steadfast beliefs about the Universe, nature, and the embodied quality of art find validation in cutting-edge scientific developments.

de Sarthe Gallery invites art enthusiasts and the curious to immerse themselves in the profound and visionary world of Rotraut. Cosmos Inspiration promises an immersive experience that transcends time and space, urging viewers to engage with art on a level beyond the cerebral.

The exhibition will be on display at DE SARTHE Gallery from November 25th to January 20th. Don’t miss the opportunity to witness the evolution of an artist who defied conventions and embraced the essence of nature in every stroke, relief, and sculpture.
