Catrine Bodum

Catrine Bodum ist Malerin und arbeitet grossflächig und abstrakt. Als Ausgangspunkt ihrer Arbeiten dienen ihr oft Musikstücke (Minimal Music). Bewegung, Raum, Zeit und Rhythmus sind zentrale Themen. Die Bilder haben eine starke, physische Präsenz. Dies ist wohl auch auf ihre Vorgeschichte als Tänzerin zurückzuführen. Überreste und Spuren. Die Künstlerin beschreibt ihre Arbeit folgnedermassen: Ein Ort der übrigbleibt, wenn vergangene Handlungen neue Handlungen und Spuren von etwas Geschehenem das Auge dahin führen, was danach passiert ist.

Catrine Bodum is a painter and works mainly large scale and abstract. Music (usually repetitive or minimal) often serves as a starting point for her work. Movement, space, time and rhythm are central themes. The images have a strong, physical presence. This is probably due to her background as a dancer. Remains and traces, the artist describes her work as such: A place where past actions affect new actions and traces of something happened is left to lead the eye up to what happened after.
