About this artwork
The images in the "Rockfaces" series differ from my earlier work, or even from the paintings of other artists that one typically sees. They are portraits of stones, or rather, of rock strata and layers. Portraits of nature that "appear" like an abstract painting.
They are not only painted with a brush, but also applied with sand and acrylic paint using a spatula.
Are my paintings abstract?
Only partly. What's missing is the spontaneous impulse… that gives rise to many abstract paintings. Informal painting, like that of Emil Schumacher or Pollock, isn't for me. I proceed very methodically, trying to construct and harmonize what I see in such a way that something unique emerges, even though its basis is found in real nature. The subject and material are there; I reshape them, however, to preserve both the momentary and the fundamental. Every day changes what I've seen and perceived as lasting.
Maren Wellendorf is an experienced painter who works with oil paints, acrylics, and collected colored sand on canvas and looks back on over 40 years of artistic development. In Germany, her socially critical paintings and the paintings from the series "Andalusian Journey" and "Between the Wadden Sea and the Desert" were exhibited, including in Hamburg, Bremen, Frankfurt, Göttingen, and Worpswede. For her, landscape paintings are "the mirror of my feelings." Years ago, she began a new series of paintings she calls "Rockfaces." They are portraits of stones, or rather, of rock and rock layers. They appear like abstract images, but they depict the structures, lines, and forms of a visible reality. She therefore calls this style "realistic structuralism." One sees the changing morphology of a landscape in detail, the passage of time, and the transience of life. In this respect, the paintings resemble faces and are portraits.
