CONTINENTAL DIVIDES
PAINTINGS
Ina Bierstedt's paintings display scenarios of disorientation.
At first sight, they appear to show still and deserted landscapes.
At a closer inspection, however, their horizons fail to define a
certain space wthin
the picture and they even refuse to confirm the point of view the
spectator had thought to assume.
Opaque textures that suggest a reliable foreground suddenly open
up and withdraw to the back, yet this back won't provide a lasting
coordinate, either. Then on a different level we follow a constellation
of sup-posedly abstract elements - only to find that they will turn
into figurative depictions that indicate relations
of size and of space we cannot deduce to their contexts.
Ina Bierstedt is interested in the tension that is effected by such
uncertainties and transformations. Her paintings may strike us with
their serenity, as she works with numerous, yet thin layers of paint
and as her colouring is rather cautious. But despite of their restrained
materiality, these images develop a highly dynamic life of their
own, Far from allowing romanticist receptions, Ina Bierstedt's paintings
create fictional spaces whose ambiguities never seem to reveal all
their secrets.
