Jana Schröder – Spontacts and Kinkrustations

Jana Schröder records the gestures of her hand in scriptural ›notes‹, sweeping registers, columns, lines, grids or finely rhythmic webs. Thereby she shows through the apparent seriality that each painting, each drawing draws on its own experience and is conceived as an individual indexical sign: directly on the canvas or on a sheet of paper, into which the used ink permeates, and from the initial blue to violet slowly fading to light ocher. Between grace and brittleness, fully aware of design and surrendered control, Jana Schröder misses these ephemeral traces of human presence and brings them back into a noticeably physical relationship to space and time.
