Isolde Kille is a German-American artist working primarily in painting, sculpture and installation. “I like to invent the materials”, she explains, “I like to experiment. It is part of my joy to discover and allow chance to reveal itself.” Kille’s work is both abstract and cerebral, often exploring the power of imagination. Her focus is to describe an awareness between the existing conditions and a fictional environment, to liberate and draw visions of potential worlds.
The last decade, Isolde Kille expanded her art production working in the desert of rural New Mexico. She works on multiple works at once, on the land itself, often incorporating elements such as earth, as well as mirrors to create a form of interactive existence.
Grounded in an acute sense of the spiritual in the physical world, Kille explores in her
paintings the foundations of perception. She does this through subtle manipulation of various aspects of the painterly process, she examined over the last 15 years. In an era where we are constantly required to maneuver through a never-ending torrent of images, Kille quietly pulls us in and makes us shift our focus just slightly, from what we are seeing to how.
