Press Release

Flowing masses of water seem to pour across the paper. Stormy waves form caverns and create perspectival depth. The crests of the waves evoke memories of the devastating tsunami in South Asia twenty years ago, an event that still stirs recollections among those affected: images deeply etched in memory, sounds that remain unforgettable. In the exhibition All day I hear the noise of waters, Eva Schlegel reflects on her own immediate experience of this natural disaster through a series of lithographs. These works are being presented for the first time in the showroom of Galerie Krinzinger.

The exhibited series is based on Eva Schlegel’s innovative engagement with the technique of lithography. The artist has been working with this traditional method for two years; initial experiments with this planographic printing technique led to further explorations. Schlegel was encouraged by the experienced Tyrolean lithographer Kurt Raich.

The grinding of the lithographic stone, during which the template is erased and all information is obliterated, served as a source of inspiration for Schlegel. Observing this process sparked her desire to shape these flowing forms, fix them, and capture them on paper. Inspired by the traces left by the grinding procedure, she developed motifs reminiscent of cascading water and stormy swirls.
