A central aspect of Silke Albrecht’s work is the exploration of painterly processes and a wide variety of techniques. She also explores pictorial, representational, and signifying functions within the framework of painting – either figurative or abstract. In doing so, she breaks with simple paths; her works are multifocal and thus can also be read on different levels.

Detail
Her abstract works are not solely forms and colors painted with a brush on canvas. Rather, Albrecht also works with means of collage, assemblage, and sewing and embroidery, among others. She pours, she wipes, she draws – with thread and needle – on the canvas.
What is decisive here is that, on the one hand, it is about painterly-aesthetically highly effective, impressive and convincing images on canvas, which sometimes transcend the two-dimensionality of the canvas relief-like and, on the other hand, the joy of creating these works.

Detail
Albrecht does not only represent or depict objects, but rather she creates in a very concrete way. She brings herself in as an actor, not as a distanced performer. Creation as the actual act that brings forth the image (the pictorial world).
