The painterly conquest of space

Through highly gestural and beautifully colored compositions, Janaina Tschäpe's paintings skillfully blur the line between landscape and imagination. This volume highlights the last seven years of the artist's work, which has seen a breakthrough in the level of visual complexity, technical confidence, and aesthetic freedom that she brings to it. A new essay by art historian Joachim Pissarro delves into the literary and historical references that shape and inform Tschäpe's approach to painting. Richly illustrated, with superb reproductions of the artwork alongside installation images of Tschäpe's museum and gallery exhibitions worldwide, this monograph documents a prolific period of creativity and her boundary-pushing use of media.
