Artist Statement
The concept of 'Lush' is transient, fleeting, momentary, volatile. In her new work, Katja Wittmer captures the moment, yet accentuates the volatility of our present environment and our emotions. In her Mixed Media paintings she emphasises the hidden, the subtle, and the profound. Her technique incorporates dripping paint, thick textures and multi-layered colours, which together challenge the boundaries of perception.

Artist Profile
Born: 1972
Hometown: Munich
Based in: Ennis
« In my paintings, I explore the complex facets of humankind, the highs and lows, light and shadows, beauty and distortion, love and hate. »
Katja Wittmer is an artist based in Ireland whose paintings have been exhibited nationally, as well as in the United States, Austria, China, Germany, and India. The central theme in her art is emotional liberation, as she is fascinated by the exploration of the "emotional abyss", discovering what hides under layers of repression. She employs bold colours and textures to provoke movement, elicit mysticism, and engage the viewer's subconscious. Katja Wittmer uses acrylics, sand, plaster and pastels and incorporates dripping paint, thick textures and multi-layered colours in her work. Her unique works of abstract expressionism challenge the boundaries of perception.
