The line.

In Lisa Tiemann's case, the most important element of the drawing is conceived spatially. In this work, she combines recycled paper with glazed ceramic.

In her sculptures from the Couples series, Lisa Tiemann explores the relationship between two elements of different materiality. As a starting point, the artist has designed a series of elementary forms and translated each into a pair of sculptures.

Each consists of a ceramic object and a paper object that nestle together, both taking on the same predefined form. While the two elements obviously form a connection and can be perceived as a unit, gaps remain in some places due to displacements. Attractive and repulsive forces act in this gap between the elements and generate a creative field of tension in which equilibrium can also occur.

Lisa Tiemann (*1981 in Kassel) studied fine art at the Berlin University of the Arts under Tony Cragg and Florian Slotawa.

She lives and works in Berlin and has exhibited internationally in numerous galleries and institutions.
