Gertraud Platschek II

 

b                

It is six months later (since I first shared her work) and Gertraud Platschek is unstoppable in her creativity, be it political or personal, expressed digitally in paint or costume. She is one of the female artists I see in the generation above me, a touch stone ahead, on fire with their creative desire and production. Solving conundrums as they meet themselves at the other side of life's relentless work and care trying to make sense of it all and processed the suppressed thoughts of a lifetime.

Gertraud Platschek I

 

German artist; Gertraud Platschek makes sculptures, assemblage and collaged identities in the form of hats, masks and appendages are they memories or the weight of the world? 

"Munich is my home and the city, its modern art scene and my fellow artists contribute so much to my art. I have also been inspired by my uncle, Hans Platschek, an artist, write and critic.

 While I am mostly an architect, I also love in the world of colours and my passion is large format works where the paint is thrown, smeared and scratched in organically.'' Gertraud Platschek
