Marlene Neumann: Der rote Faden

In the organizer's words:

The title of the exhibition "The Red Thread" is not only a reference to the choice of colors, but also to the inseparable connection between the techniques of etching and woodcut. In etching, things are often created by chance. The artist Marlene Neumann then steers this coincidence in the direction she wants it to go. Giving chance space is important to her. "My motifs are often fairytale-like and mythologically charged with a great wealth of detail."

Marlene Neumann has been etching for half an eternity and knows countless tricks of the trade when it comes to this multifaceted technique. There is probably nothing she hasn't tried out herself. As the diverse techniques of etching are not enough for her, she now combines etching with woodcut or monotype. In order to be able to experiment with form, cut and color, she has discovered the painterly woodcut for herself. This technique has a certain robustness, requires manual skill and, with vivid applications of color, makes this technique a lively and dynamic art form.

Marlene Neumann has been running the Reutlingen etching workshop for decades. She has a well-equipped workshop in the adult education center when she is not working in her own workshop.
