Change of Views
In her most recent exhibition Nadine Liesse shows on the basis of three pictures series different perspectives of our current environment. Artworks as legacy, as the contemporary witnesses of animals, villages and forests, that are all on the verge of disappearance or have already entirerly disappeared and are only to be seen on pictures: endangered species, relocated ghost-town Immerath, the tree houses of the Hambacher Forrest.
In the “Ancestral portrait gallery” the artists portraits endangered and already extinct animal species that are now more so viewed as remains or witnesses of a different time, by using an old oil painting technique of the 16th century.
The “Landscapes with expiration date” draw attention to the grave intrusions of the brown coal mine in Ganzweiler, which are responsible for the irrecoverable loss of 12 villages and districts. Her works on the abandoned scenery underneath a cloudy sky convey the dramatic atmosphere and literal evacuation of the location.
The different artworks of the “Hambi” pick up on the Hambacher Forest as a key-symbol of resistance against the environmental degradation and the damage as a result of climate change through the coal industry.
With the atmospheric dense, partly nightmarish artworks, the exhibition ''Change of Views'' points out the dramatic and irreversible consequences of human impact on nature and therefore illustrate, from an artistic perspective, the importance of a fundamental rethink.
