About this artwork
The painter let her imagination run wild here, stimulated by a walk in summer through a shady gorge, known as the "devil's kitchen". All sorts of legends and stories of goblins and strange ghost figures haunt here, who frighten lonely hikers with their pranks. For the design, the different shapes were wiped out of the brown background, so that the colored underpainting came out partially again.

« My pictures find their own way, no matter what intention or idea they started with. »
Margarete Bartsch doesn’t try to map her paintings. Rather, she endeavors to understand their inner characteristics, form, and language. The German artist’s current abstract works convey a simple artistic language through color, form, and structure. Bartsch’s prefers to paint using egg tempera, mixing color pigments with oil substances to create fluid colors. As each layer takes a long time to dry, her creative process is lengthy, which suits her just fine.
