Multidisciplinary, Berlin-based artist Janin Walter is interested in the dynamics of space: both external and internal. Her research into architecture informs her collages, which examine the structures of human interactions with the built world. Her vivid, painterly abstract paintings meanwhile endeavor to reveal internal and intuitive processes related to her relationship with rational space. Walter meditates prior to painting so that her work will flow from a relaxed, creative mental state enabled by theta brain wave activity. Starting from this place of feelings rather than analyses, Walter creates layered, organic compositions in which vibrant, neon hues mix with brut gestures and forms amid atmospheric color fields. Walter has been awarded residencies in Guangzhou, China, Hong Kong, Riga, Latvia and Muscat, Oman, and her works have been exhibited extensively in Europe, Asia, the United States and the Middle East.
