"My artistic works are articulations of human beings – of their desires and dreams, of their appearance and complexity." (Lucia Schautz)
In her work, the artist Lucia Schautz engages the themes of human complexity and the multiple layers that form the human experience. Guiding themes such as “Internal and External” and “Body and Shroud” are drawn through the various creative phases.
The images strive to illuminate the projection surfaces of sensations, cognitions, and perceptions, and testify less to physical dimensions and actual identities.
In this respect, the portrayal of human beings can be characterized as allegories, as indirect declarations about life-styles and zeitgeists present in our complex and sometimes ambivalent society.
The Painter concerns herself with the nebulous interplay found in “Identity and Construction”, “Truth and Fiction”, “Dream and Reality”. Costumes not only serve to clothe the human body, but also vocalize the mental state of human beings.
The original idea to use human figures as a projection surface is based on her earlier performance work. Ambiguous, provocative, and disruptive images are achieved by projection of video onto the body.
Lucia Schautz generates enigmatic sceneries and figures through play with body and surface, often employing collage-elements. In this manner her paintings evolved from the pure collage-technique (acrylic, paper on canvas) to painted collages to a citation of reality.
