Theresa Volpp

Having experimented different artistic possibilities. Theresa Volpp’s practice increasingly focuses on the canvas as a challenged and art historically-loaded site. Volpp’s aim is to test out the given limitations of painting as a medium ,  overcome or outwit her own aesthetic preferences and  create her own visual language through new (visual) spaces within abstraction.  In her own words she says: “I want painting to originate an open space that doesn‘t follow any concept, rule or restriction. I want painting to represent its own being, that includes not always knowing what it is. Abstract painting is an inevitable choice, in my eyes, as it doesn‘t suggest any known image or idea and is connected to the world through its pure materiality. This dialogue between a completely abstract idea and language and the very concrete materiality of paint itself interests me. Abstract painting is an inevitable choice as it doesn‘t suggest any known image or form but has limitless possibilities at the same time. It is hardly explicable, and therefore difficult to grasp, as it doesn‘t suggest any fixed concept or idea.
