"Viva la vida" - long live life
Colour intensive pictures by Ingrid Pfeffer in the LAUDA FabrikGalerie

18.02.2008 - 31.03.2008

Long live life, that is the title of the new exhibition which has been open to the public since 18 February until the end of March in the LAUDA FabrikGalerie. Artist Ingrid Pfeffer, nee Götz was born in Mosbach (Baden) in 1967 and is a self taught artist. There she lives and has her studio. In 1996 the artist completed her studies in graphic design at the polytechnic in Hagen. Alongside her part time activity in graphic design and advertising she works as a freelance artist.

When painter Ingrid Pfeffer picks up a brush, it is immediately controlled by her heart. Her pictures and paintings are expressions of her senses, feelings determine the colour combinations. The artist is not bound by traditional painting methods or colouring, she thinks and feels in colour.

Perhaps it is thanks to this factor that she has developed a style of her own. She has never given in to the temptation to copy great masters. Ingrid Pfeffer's paintings show the soul of those depicted, open hearted and earnest. She carries her pictures around in her head and her heart for a long time, lets them mature and grow, until they find spontaneous inspiration in realisation – have to find. She paints large abstract compositions in acrylic paints on canvas, adds photo realistic still lifes in pastel crayon to velvet paper and gives children from troubled areas of this world faces with drawing with charcoal. She creates paintings - which captivate the beholder as coiled power of an explosive mental invitation. Here paintings speak a language everyone understands.

Regular visits to paint in Germany and abroad in France, Italy, Peru or Mexico and the encounters with the people are her inspiration. The pictures exhibited in the FabrikGalerie show hope, love, beauty, loneliness and pain – in nearly every facet of life. This well worth seeing exhibition in the LAUDA FabrikGalerie is on view for art lovers during business hours from Monday to Friday between 8 am to 12 am and 1 pm to 4 pm.
