About this artwork

Anne Wölk is inspired by futuristic architectural photos. She finds her inspiration in them and combines sections into a new whole.
The landscape painting "Oort Cloud" shows a bus shelter under a sparkling starry sky at night. Wölk manages to fantastically exaggerate the light of the stars by painting layer after layer of thin oil paint on top of each other. The departure point is deserted and appears to be deserted. The triangular painting is like… an arrow and points towards the horizon. Does it continue from here? The Oort Cloud destination is aimed at the boundaries of our solar system, which is inaccessible to humans. It is so dark there that direct observations have not yet been possible with telescopes. In 1950, Dutch astronomer Jan Oort predicted that the solar system was surrounded by a vast blanket of ice and dust far out there. This area is named after him as the Oort cloud.

« 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.
