Birte Hölscher (born 1967) lives and works in Worpswede. In her paintings, she takes up the legacy of the famous artists’ colony without ever imitating it. Instead, she finds very special imagery for representing the Teufelsmoor, its birches, and moor canals.
The sparse yet infinitely nuanced colors and minimalist structures of the surrounding landscape inspire Birte Hölscher’s expressive paintings which do not deny their relation to nature even if they have long since crossed the border to abstraction. Birte Hölscher approaches the landscape also as a photographer and always keeps an eye on the quaint.
Thus, she can be seen as a direct link to Hermine Overbeck-Rohte, who more than 100 years previously also explored nature as a painter and photographer. By juxtaposing the works of these two artists for the first time, a dialogue develops between motifs and perspectives, between paintings and photographs, between then and now.
