Agnes Lammert : Tänzer II

Agnes Lammert : Tänzer II

Agnes Lammert's dancers convey peacefulness. With reduced elegance, the artist brings two bodies in motion onto the paper with only a few movements of the ink feather. Again and again I get caught up in these drawings, which develop their breathtaking beauty especially in a serial presentation. Agnes Lammert makes these sketches during a ballet rehearsal. In her artistic virtuosity, she knows how to depict the body, physique and tension, while materially focusing on the absolute minimum. Black ink and white paper. Perfect reduction by focusing on the line. It is fascinating the way Agnes Lammert knows how to charge this minimalist pictorial world with drama.
