EDITION for DISTANZVERLAG: Lovers, 2023

I’ve  made a new edition in collaboration with DISTANZ Verlag. The edition was created while working on my new monograph ‚Das Leben Eben – Just Life‘, which is also published at Distanzverlag.

„Love and intimacy are recurring themes in her oeuvre. Feelings such as fragility, exhaustion, and connection seem to be taken in, and then radiated back; her motifs glow—according to Julia Voss—like memories of the most beautiful nights“

„Grit Richter’s artistic approach shifts between abstraction and figuration, between the immediacy of utopian landscapes and the momentariness of a snapshot. Richter’s paintings, which she often installs together with sculpture and drapery, share a visual universe that is mostly two-dimensional and abstract. They also contain figurative elements which often appear bizarre and humorous through their combination of colors, forms and materials. The artist is searching for a way to cast universal feelings into images that function as aesthetic parables of our inner world. Her works explore the alliance of the conscious and unconscious, of individual and collective memory.⁠“
