Judith Liebe Art Exhibit Opening
|
|
It was during her stay in Paris, seeking "reduction and emptiness, that she became inspired by the famous German painter Caspar David Friedrich, and started painting her own landscapes.
A small selection of Judith Liebe's landscapes will be on display at the German Consulate General until the end of March. The exhibition is open for public viewing Monday - Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. or by appointment.

Judith
Liebe studied painting at the School of Fine Arts in Hamburg, Munich
and Paris. After working for several years at the Alte Pinakothek museum
in Munich, she decided in 2000, to split her time living and working
between Los Angeles and Munich. 
The artist on her work on display at the German Consulate: “While
the concept of my landscapes is traditional, I believe it is also quite
unusual. In my view, the quality of painting lies in contemplation -
in the long, reflective look. I value painting which is enveloped in
deep silence, which begs to be studied intensively and depicts more than
a moment in time - a painting which unfolds and expands. The technique
and effect of this type of painting is elusive and romantic in its very
essence. I want my art to be iconographic and binding. Only in this way
can it maintain its human relationship and serve to immortalize the human
view."
Judith Liebe has received several awards for her art and her work has
been exhibited in Germany, France and most recently at the Frank Pictures
Gallery at Bergamot Station in Santa Monica.
