Then again, Ute Meyer gets up close and personal, directly to the edge of the sea with all the stones, driftwood, seaweed and grasses in the wet sand. Here, Ute Meyer discovers shapes, colours and light effects that she later translates into macro studies in her studio, which are as representational, almost photographic, as they are abstract. Sometimes her subject matter only becomes recognisable from a distance. ‘Seaweed in the evening light’, for example, is a picture that repeatedly caught my eye while the exhibition was hanging.
