Christine Dreher is a visual artist from Germany, based in Berlin.
In her paintings, she explores processes of form creation and form dissolution. Through gestural, flat, translucent or opaque applications of paint or also involving washouts she creates relationships between different layers of color. These stratifications generate spatial depth and point to the process of interaction in which the concept of linear time is suspended. Her panels capture snapshots of this ongoing process.
Tectonic and geomorphological phenomena and movements within the landscape serve as sources of inspiration for her. On a metaphorical level as well, her images are a negotiation with processes of form-creation and with the forces that act to bring something into appearance. Last but not least, the artist makes use of fleeting physiological afterimages that appear on retina with closed eyes or just before falling asleep at the end of the day to further develop her work.
