About this artwork

The pencil drawing "Origin and Fall" shows the ancient comet Tschuri. The celestial body flies through space and outgasses oxygen in the process. The light shines through the gas and lets the object shine auratically. The astronomers have examined the comet's atmosphere and everything indicates that the gas is older than the solar system. The discovered oxygen could already have been trapped in the ice grains from which the comet's nucleus formed… 4.6 billion years ago. The work of art is not a classic landscape drawing. Rather, it is designed as a process study in which the object is constantly moving and changing. The ancient rock can tell us humans a story about its journey through the solar system. In this way the stone appears strangely animated, a "life out of lifelessness". That's what the movie says "Star Trek III In Search of Mr Spock".
The frame is included in the price of the drawing.

« With human warmth, I try to translate the grandeur and the size of the cold, empty, and hostile universe into emotionally tangible paintings. »

Anne Wölk is a Berlin-based painter whose work explores the intersections of astronomy, speculative fiction, and contemporary landscape painting. With atmospheric color and precise lighting, she develops visionary topographies that straddle realism and imagination. She has had international solo exhibitions at the CICA Museum (South Korea) and the Casa da Cultura Ericeira Museum (Portugal). In 2025, her work was featured in the Herbstsalon of the Kunstverein Erlangen at the Kunstpalais and in the Casa da Cultura Ericeira's 2024 Retrospectiva. Her work will be published in 2025 in Issue 9 of Artsin Square magazine, curated by Galerie Droste. Wölk's painting emerges from the dialogue between scientific curiosity and the search for imaginary habitats beyond the known.
