Christin Lutze creates in her paintings imaginary spaces in which neither perspective nor architectural constructs could exist. It shifts perspectives, distorts planes, deforms bars or reduces distances. Nevertheless, her paintings appear real, the room is theoretically accessible. Her handling of light supports flatness or depth, reflects motifs or illuminates hidden corners. In my picture, light creates exactly what could not be the case in reality.
A very striking element in her work is the absence of people. Dimensions and proportions thus remain immeasurable. Although everything she paints could actually be a human construct, the protagonist is missing. It is not man who creates here, but the imagination. They push the viewer into a surreal world: where does the material end, where does our imagination begin?
