Nature is captured and reinterpreted by means of color frequencies. The language of form in Hanna Roeckle's work is diverse, the color nuances even more so.
Each object is based on a fundamental corpus, which is derived from the nature - be it crystalline forms, or shapes that seem to have been taken from rock formations. If the form is then fundamentally fixed, this is transferred by means of paper and cardboard into the space - thus the attempt is made to lead back a, from nature taken, into the two-dimensional template transferred basic idea, again into the three-dimensionality. If the result agrees with the artist's idea, it is statically calculated in which size the respective corpus can be built - and if this blank is then ready, that part follows which makes every single object of Roeckle's unique: the color concept.
Gradient contours let the colors flow into each other, dissolve any recognizable color boundary and begin to truly fascinate the viewer. Each object shines in x-fold color frequencies. Depending on the viewing direction, depending on the location, depending on the incidence of light, the artwork appears completely different in terms of color - green turns to gold, only to suddenly drift into pink when the viewer changes position again. It is a technique of her own that Hanna Roeckle uses here to achieve precisely this oscillation, this interplay of color.
The Rosetta - a pentagon - has been reinterpreted by Hanna Roeckle this year: a new formal language has emerged, whose color gradients are even more profound and exciting than ever before. We are now showing four of these new works for the first time. Also part of the exhibition will be Rosetta Mutation. An object that challenges statics - a large pentagram that opens to the center, revealing a view of the wall below. The Crystalline Needles - which stand like stalagmites in space, are made for both indoor and outdoor use.
Hanna Roeckle has created a color concept for the exhibition rooms especially for the presentation in Vienna. Each room is dominated by a colored wall, in front of or on which her works are presented.
A great installation - a perfect presentation!
Hanna Roeckle's (*1950, Swiss and Liechtenstein national, lives and works in Zurich) works are represented in numerous private and public collections. Indoors as well as outdoors. Thus, among others, in the ICC (International Criminal Court) in The Hague, the Art Collection Cantonal Bank in Zurich, the Mobiliar in Bern, the Art Museum Liechtenstein, the Art Collection Credit Suisse in Zurich, the First Advisory Collection in Vaduz, the Foundation Liner in Appenzell, the Hilti Art Foundation, Schaan, the Sal Oppenheim Collection Zurich, the Collection Kunstraum in Siegendorf to name but a few.
