Heidrun Rathgeb, In the Kitchen, 2024
Monotype, 28.5 × 21cm (unframed)
Heidrun Rathgeb’s practice celebrates - in her words - ‘moments that feel like daily epiphanies’. Whether drawing from the dramatic landscape surrounding her home or capturing intimate moments within domesticity, Heidrun’s small-scale unique and limited edition prints explore ‘states of being’ within today’s often frenetic world.
Heidrun’s painting and printmaking practices are closely linked. This unique print is one of a new body of works with a fluid, luminous quality similar to a watercolour painting. This particular image has a terracotta border which conjures a window framing the artist’s subject - or perhaps it is a reflection in a mirror. Drawing from life is central to the artist’s practice. In this series, we see the result of gentle observations of Heidrun’s children quietly absorbed in their daily tasks around the home.
Heidrun was born in Germany but moved to London in 1993 to study at the Byam Shaw School of Art followed by the Slade School of Fine Art, London. Her work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in the UK and internationally. Oliver Projects has exhibited her prints at the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair every year since 2021. John Martin Gallery, London, presented the first solo exhibition of her paintings in the UK. A solo exhibition of Heidrun’s work was presented by 532 Gallery Thomas Jaeckel in New York, USA (March 2023); a solo exhibition of paintings followed in Sydney, Australia, at Day 01 Gallery (August 2024).
Heidrun currently lives and works in rural South Germany, with views from her home of Lake Constance and the Alps.
