Nicola Klemz

16.12.1953 born (Knop) in Freiburg im Breisgau (Germany),
19.1.2016 † in Nördlingen.

My pictures show both symbolist and surreal tendencies. The symbolist pictures represent problems of our existence such as proximity and distance in human relations, love, longing, isolation and aggression, among other things. Just as in mime and modern dance, the subjects express an idea or a mood through gestures and movement. This gives a symbolic character to parts of the picture. My landscape pictures can also be interpreted metaphorically, as expressions of mental moods.The surrealist work developed by chance from the structure of a picture (as for instance the Surrealists did through decalcomania). The encoded meaning of the picture can reflect mental experiences. These seem like messages from the personal or collective subconscious. Sometimes this makes the pictures ambiguous. Their interpretation depends on the associations of the observer. The title of the picture may provide an added stimulus.

1973-1978 Art student at the Nuremberg College of Art, with Prof. G.Dollhopf and Prof. G.Wendland
