ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Inspired again by the wealth of culture in indigenous tribes this references to how expressions can paint many masks. I feel like this face encompasses a mixture of: sorrow/yet joy, wisdom/loss, knowledge held/knowledge lost. I hope the viewer of this can experience different perspectives and reflections many times viewing this on separate occasions.

“My feelings are the subject of my art. My intention is for my paintings to express how I feel about the world and people, and my relationship to them.” Los Angeles-based artist Regine Legler was born in Berlin, Germany. Her vibrant, colorful paintings are visualizations of deeply felt emotional states, dream imagery, and the enchanting world she has found in her new home, the American West. In childhood, Regine’s first drawings were made on a communal canvas; her mother encouraged family members to draw at home on a kitchen door. Every surface was a place to draw, including her schoolbooks, which led Regine to her first artistic commission; a classmate asked her to help him fulfill a homework assignment by drawing a portrait of Napoleon. Regine's formal education began when she enrolled at the prestigious Staedelschule in Frankfurt/Main, Germany, where she studied figure drawing, portraiture, landscape and still life under Walter Hergenhahn, a student of the renowned Max Beckmann. She completed her formal artistic training at the Freie Academy in Mannheim, Germany, receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts after devoting three years to intensive study in color theory, oil painting, acrylic and watercolor. Regine’s creative journey has led her to explore diverse subjects, but the connecting theme through all is the intimate investigation of emotional territory. Her vibrantly colored Faces series depicts intense emotional states. In the delicate emotional nuances depicted in her Bonds series her subject is maternal love, the intimate connection between mother and child. Regine’s move to the United States brought her to new thematic territories; she began to paint wildlife and explore emotional states via the culture of the Native American Indian. From early on, Regine Legler’s artistic endeavors have been a form of contemplative emotional work, processing her feelings through her radiant drawings and paintings. Today, she continues this creative focus, using bold colors and active brush strokes to convey deeply felt emotional states, drawing from both her German Expressionist roots and the imaginative possibilities of Fantastic Realism. Her exuberant paintings have a distinctive and sophisticated personal style that reflects both the exterior world of nature, and her own luminous, interior world.
