Larissa Leverenz
"Larissa Leverenz takes the viewer into a world of surreal, alien beauty. The technique used is particularly fascinating: the artist paints and draws, she prints and collages on thin wooden boards, which with their natural texture and structure make up the background of the picture. Sometimes she carves into the boards or expands them to form installation works in space - an unusual visual language for us, never seen before in this form, and a smart interweaving of very different artistic techniques."
