Scrooged Painting

Claudia Christof's pictures are characterised by a powerful sense of peace. They emphasise clear shapes which reduce to the essential. In her works is place for randomness which appears, among others, as reoccurring grimace-like faces that catch the eye. The artist likes to work with moving models, she catches these moments 1:1 in her creations without diluting them in memory. CC: “This creates authenticity and gives the line its power. “ The art of Claudia Christof speaks in its expanses and contours. The expanse of the canvas becomes a journey in its clear areas of the exposed, a border which fights with its stark contours to elevate itself from the mass and to defend its independence. Colours are in the muted intermittent palette and straddle the tension between bashfulness and dominance. The hue changes from cold, hard blues to strong reds tarnished with black.   Lines go from smoothly flowing to hard, angular, nearly geometric cuts that shift their bodies into erotic movement.
