Annette G. Rathjen is a versatile artist with a background in photography, painting, and printmaking. She works with a mixture of painting, collage, and drawing, layering elements upon elements. She uses acrylic paints, charcoal, chalk, but also sand, coffee grounds, marble dust, ash, and sometimes old nautical charts.
This creates a tension: lines and colors assert themselves, are covered over. Something new breaks through, something old remains visible. It's like a conversation on the canvas—sometimes a dialogue, sometimes an argument.
The result is images that reveal both structure and movement. They are not linear narratives, but fragments, superimpositions that challenge us; inviting us to let go of our perception, not to stop at the first step, but to inspire us as viewers and invite our own interpretation. Her works are exhibited in France, Austria, Italy, and the USA.
