Maike Reman (Langenhagen, Germany, 1964) moves formally and stylistically betweenan object-free mode of representation and the abstraction of figurative forms. Objectsare symbolically reduced in the painting process. Form, colour and motif merge into apictorial unity. The emphatically gestural application of colour, emotionally interprets thedepicted. The painting realization and its colour layering are visible in every of her works.In this way, she allows the viewer to take part in the intimate process of creation.
