Description
Anke Blaue presents a bold study of texture using shades of red painted on antique linen, a primary material in all her pieces. Blaue works solely with handmade fabrics and antique linens, which in many cases had ancient use. Her creative process is both preservation and exploration. It begins with the materiality of the fabric, its structure, thickness, and natural color, which are then combined with color and composition. The results are works that tell a richly textural story through a modern lens.

Artist
Anke Blaue
Anke Blaue trained in wood sculpting in Germany and Carrara, Italy, and collaborated with abstract expressionist sculptor Philip Pavia. She later studied art in Düsseldorf and was mentored by Bruno Fonseca in Barcelona, where Blaue explored the “universalismo constructive” of Joaquín Torres-García, integrating principles learned from old masters into her work, spanning figurative and abstract sculptures, collages and paintings.
