Demeter Painting

I was born in 1964 in the country formerly known as the GDR. I’m a self-taught painter and have passionately developed my professional creative work since 2005. Most of my work consists of oil and gouache painting on coarse canvas and limestone paper. I’m obsessed with narratorial and mystical, inviting motives and figures, but I also dwell in abstractions, that derive their attraction from the interplay between lines and colors. Drawings, both as external sketches and integral elements, serve as a central set of tools, that I use to elaborate on the theme of each painting. To work with narratorial motifs is a kind of soliloquy (“Selbstgespräch”) for me. The improvisational character of my method is perhaps best described like this: - a brush dipping into a glass of water - an oilstick losing its way on the vast canvas - gouache dripping from my hand, meeting its fate - constant agitation. exploratory. with no destination in my mind. The result is an allegory over humanity and nature, or humans in nature. 1984-88 member of artists cooperative led by Wolfgang Petrovsky 1989-93 work as teacher in Jena and Berlin 1993 moved to Copenhagen, Danmark 1994-97 work as press photographer 2007 study visit to Kirsten Kjærs Museum supported by Bikubenfonden 2007 moved to North Jutland (Thy) to live and work in a former farmhouse Annette Falk Lund is a member of DBF, the Professional Association of Fine Artists in Denmark.
