Born 1974 in Köthen/Anhalt, Germany
“...My drawings are based on things that I have seen. I do not invent forms, but sometimes reduce or exaggerate certain aspects of the objects that I draw. By doing this, the drawings invite multiple interpretations...”
Berlin-based contemporary artist, Astrid Köppe, since 1999, has been consistently creating work in her unique drawing style, in which she depicts seemingly floating objects on A4 paper. She has also has been creating enamel pieces that have a unique, vitreous texture, and have added extra depth to her work. This is quite rare to use as a material for contemporary artwork; it is known as an industrial product, used in household items or road signs.
The mysterious objects in her work look like plants, animals, minerals, fungi, or some alien hybridized combination of these, and stimulate the viewer's imagination by inviting multiple interpretations.
Köppe’s recent solo exhibitions include 'Spontaneous Paradise', in Galerie Inga Kondeyne (Berlin, 2020); 'Untitled', in LAGE EGAL (Berlin, 2019); 'Konfabulasi', in Lostgens (Kuala Lumpur, 2019); 'Fusiform', in Galerie Carolyn Heinz (Hamburg,2016); and 'Astrid Köppe – New Work', in Gallery Joe (Philadelphia, 2016). She has been exhibited widely in Europe, the US, and Asia.
