Bettina Schilling

Bettina Schilling works primarily with painting, collage, and large-scale installations; she is originally from Mannheim but has lived in Berlin and Potsdam for many years. She cuts figurative silhouettes from materials such as carpet, cork, gauze, and paper, which she reassembles in process-oriented layering and collage. Her style is relief-like and characterized by the interplay between individual freedom and collective order. Her works reflect dynamic in-between spaces and convey a vibrant tension between proximity and distance, community and isolation.
