‘Where lies the potentiality of the painting? Where is the energy going? I really like a certain tension, but I also like to arrive at a certain calmness.’ Since 2006, Katherina Olschbaur has gone on a journey from chaos to figuration and, ultimately, to abstraction (turning concrete figures and shapes into abstract forms.)
