About this artwork
More dream than reality - and yet inspired by local impressions, the picture "Zansibar I" was created. It captures the special colors, the atmosphere, but also the fragility of a beauty that is created by the meeting of water and stone and is subject to a constant process of change. It is left to the viewer's imagination to categorize what exactly he sees – a unique bird's-eye view of the landscape, the wall of a building whose plaster and decoration…
is peeling or slowly crumbling due to humidity, or something else entirely.
In changing colors from soft turquoise to strong blue and earthy colors from sand to sepia, Petra Knauer brings her memories of Zanzibar to life abstractly on the canvas using ash, pigments, stone powder, binding agents, acrylic and ink.
