Through painting, mixed media, and narrative imagery, artists Tinam Valk, Sabine Carlson, and Jenny Kanzler explore the multilayered nature of identity, memory, and place, drawing upon a shared heritage rooted in German, Eastern European, and American cultural exchange. As with the manuscript pages from which the exhibition takes its name—painted, erased, and layered—their works bear the visible traces of earlier personal and collective histories.
Sharing a love of the language of painting, they fuse separate sensibilities and so facilitate a conversation with their pasts and with the viewer – acting as a transatlantic conduit, using their personal stories to facilitate a broader narrative.
Their artistic practices echo traditions of Central and Eastern European narrative art, German expressionism, and the Eastern European folk-surrealist lineage, while also engaging contemporary questions of identity, belonging, and psychological intrigue.
