The work of Ute Meyer captures the bond between texture and atmosphere, a real strength in her portfolio. My favourite artwork, ‘Am Strand /Spülsaum’, highlights her exactness to detail, focusing on the foam that is at the coast, reminding one of the delicate nature of the seaside. The combination of low, natural colours with these gentle light and dark shadows helps to create a pleasant and yet restless picture that makes one think of nature and its soft but immutable power. The brushstrokes create the modules, bringing a 3D quality to the surface of the work. The artist makes use of those soft, adequate strokes to depict a palpable image. This method emphasises her proficiency without distracting the viewer from the core of the piece and bestows it with an aura of sombreness.
