About The Artwork
In her artistic work, Britta Eriskat explores different areas of the painterly or graphic. She usually works serially to explore the theme in its various facets within a limited framework. "Skin and Bones" is the title of a series of recent works by the artist. The works on paper are executed exclusively with india ink and spray paint. Ink in the shade "Slate Gray" or "Leipzig Black" is applied by brush, wooden sticks or wooden fork alternating with the skin-colored spray paint (shade Brain) on white 300 g Hahnemühle watercolor paper. The application is done alternately quickly and intuitively or slowly weighing with the help of stencils, for which, among other things, cattle bones are used. Like a diary, Eriskat processes visual and emotional perceptions into deserted tableaus that oscillate between figuration and abstraction and put the viewer's perception to the test. Always the same forms are kaleidoscopically reassembled in order to find images for inner worlds of experience and feelings in a process of approaching. The interaction of divergent elements and techniques, as well as the ambivalence of the colorful implementation and the constantly dissolving representational nature of what is depicted opens both the artist herself and the viewer a wide field for association and reflection.

Catrin Morschek M.A., about the series "Foldings of bronze", 2020: "The work of the artist Britta Eriskat is multi-layered and complex and cannot be categorized. It is often visual impressions, such as the view from her window, chance encounters or imagined scenes, which the artist translates into her own visual language through drawing or design. This results in works that encode the visually perceived objects or scenes, abstracting possible recognizable figurations. The pictorial invention often develops as the result of a prolonged thought process that analyzes the most diverse facets of the subject and then finds implementation in serial form. The format of the series gives the artist the freedom to illuminate a theme from many sides, to dissect and to integrate the individual parts, each in a new incoherent context. The choice of painting material also plays a not insignificant role, since it is used consistently within a series. Although Eriskat experiments and works with a wide range of materials, such as colored pencils and black or colored ink mostly on paper, but also with paper, clay and bronze in the sculptural field, drawing is always recognizable as the basis of her artistic work. All works oscillate equally between figuration and abstraction. In this way, a very unusual oeuvre of autonomous pictorial works, sculptural objects and installations has emerged."
