Beate C. Koehler (DE)

In her series Icy winter, the German artist Beate Koehler creates symmetrical and harmonious images by duplicating her portraits. People appear as if they are laying beneath thin sheets of ice, which discloses to the viewer their confinement, vulnerability and isolation. Koehler integrates these pictures with overlapping patches of color and intricate patterns, often ensuing from the ice cracks, increasing the complexity of the pictures and letting the spectator dive into all their details.
