Elisabeth Sonneck

Elisabeth Sonneck’s painting and installation practice spans infinite forms, united by her rigorous commitment to the inherent potential of her materials and their relation to their environment. Her work is a dialogue between her everyday materials and the situational elements of space.

Site-specific installations have been an integral part of Sonneck's practice since 2006. Her paper installations are a subtle manipulation of the material, guiding it to behave in organic ways. Far from passive, these works are in a state of static dynamism. Upon her paper and canvas surfaces, Sonneck conducts complex coloristic experiments that underscore the concept of color as an unstable state. Nuanced color relations play out in a rhythmic repetition created by Sonneck’s consciously reduced painterly gestures.

Elisabeth Sonneck was born in Bünde, Germany, and lives and works in Berlin. Her work has been widely shown in museums, art institutions, galleries, artist-run spaces, and public spaces, and is included in private and public collections worldwide. Her recent solo shows include Galeria NAVE (Lisbon, PT), Spazio In Situ (Rome, IT), Spazienne (Milan, IT), Stiftung Konzeptuelle Kunst im Museum Wilhelm Morgner (Soest, DE), Kunstverein Neukölln (Berlin DE), IWE Art Museum (Kunming, CN), Brunnhofer Gallery (Linz, AT), Georgium Anhaltische Gemäldegalerie (Dessau, DE), Kunstmuseum Ahlen (DE), and Museum gegenstandsfreier Kunst (Otterndorf, DE).
