Heike Negenborn - Terra Cognita

Lebensraum of our time: contemporary landscape painting. The central theme of Heike Negenborn (b. 1964, Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler; lives and works in Windesheim) is the seen lebensraum. In reference to seventeenth-century Dutch landscape painting, her works stand in a specific tradition of capturing reality. With her new group of works titled Net-Scape - Landscape in Transition, Negenborn transfers art historical references into contemporary images. The artist is interested in the possibilities of media transfer and the increasing appropriation of analog reality by the digital image. The present volume provides impressive insights into the developments of the landscape painter from 2007 to 2020. Heike Negenborn studied fine arts at Austin College, Texas, Art Education at Johannes Gutenberg Universitat Mainz, and Painting and Printmaking at the Akademie fur Bildende Kunste Mainz.
