Overview

Angelika J. Trojnarski (born 1979 in Mragowo/Polen; lives and works in D� sseldorf) examines facets of nature through an ecological, scientific, poetic study of their phenomena. Through a process centered on painting, her art articulates allegorical relationships between some of the most significant contentions of our time: humans and nature, strength and fragility, crisis and hope. She expresses a desire to understand nature by reproducing its workings, pointing to its incredible might while underscoring its increasing fragility. Trojnarski overlays raw canvases with paper fragments, employing brushwork and collage to apply materials like graphite or soot, generating a source of energy and suspense through color and contrast. The monograph offers an overview of the last decade of Trojnarski's work. Angelika J. Trojnarski 2006- 2013 studies at Kunstakademie D� sseldorf. 2006- 2009 Painting with J� rg Immendorff, Markus L� pertz and Herbert Brandl, from 2010 Free Art with Andreas Gursky.
