A
Material Landscape transmits the intensity of an atmospheric landscape in color, form and space. In different forms, the works of Afra Dopfer and Silke Spitzer are based on a common sense. The artists are linked by the idea of bringing the familiar and the obvious somehow known to the surface, reinterpreting them and seeing them with a broader perspective. In the confident use of their respective tools and materials, raumwerk Concept Store und Galerie shows a contrasting and yet strongly corresponding interpretation of a common theme.

Silke Spitzer was trained as a traditional jeweller and continued her education at the University of Applied Arts and Design in Pforzheim, Germany, where she focused on liberal arts first and finished as a master of Arts and Design in 2002. She has been working as an independent artist ever since. Her work received several awards and can be found in art museums in Germany, Canada and the U.S.A. Silke creates bold, earthbound pieces that combine the vivid impact of city life with the most simple of techniques.
