Brigitte NOTTEBOHM

Brigitta Nottebohm (1946 in Salzburg, Austria)

Brigitta Nottebohm spent her childhood and youth in Salzburg. From 1966, she studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna and undertook numerous study trips to Italy, France and Spain. She returned to Salzburg and Munich in 1971. In the 1980s, she left Europe for several years, traveled through the USA and lived and worked in San Francisco, California. Today the artist lives and works on Mallorca and in Munich.

After photorealistic beginnings in her painting, the artist conquers new spaces. She created paintings with the title RAUM LICHT LANDSCHAFT. In another cycle of paintings, PANTA RHEI, the artist explores the theme of constant change. Relief structures and color pigments are applied to large wooden or canvas supports. This results in non-representational paintings that create depth and dynamism through the application of structure and convey memories of natural atmospheres. Recently, Brigitta Nottebohm has been painting large-format abstract paintings. Red and gold – sometimes accentuated with other colors – are artfully applied in an infinite number of nuances in superimposed layers of paint. The viewer can only guess at the underlying layers of color. By using pure pigments, the artist creates remarkably energetic paintings.

The artist has been exhibiting in Europe and the USA for over 30 years and enjoys international acclaim.
