BLEU PROFOND
Nina Urlichs
Drawing with light.
It's a new pleasure for me to integrate cyanotype or photogramms to my works on paper.
This wonderful shapes of blues are made by an chemical process and sunlight. Only my drawings are still visible as a negatif of white lines, shapes, formes.
The composition is about the thèmes of deep summer nights, moonlight glooming,
paysage - landscapes far away , lakes in moonshine, blue mountains far on the horizon. Sometimes some humain figures are showing up behind the blue shadows, as looking through windows, inside to us or outside to the endless night. All pieces are made between 2018 to 2023. The paper is mostly put on canvas (collage) or framed in white wood. Sometimes red drawing in upper layers are on the pvc/ glass of the frame. These figuratif or abstract red drawings are underlining movements or giving impulses to the whole composition.

Zeichnen mit Licht
Es ist eine neue Freude für mich, Cyanotypie oder Fotogramme in meine Arbeiten auf Papier zu integrieren.
Diese wunderbaren blauen Formen werden durch einen chemischen Prozess im Sonnenlicht erzeugt. Nur meine Zeichnungen sind noch als Negativ aus weißen Linien, Formen und Gestalten sichtbar.
Die Kompositionen handeln von Gefühlen tiefer Sommernächte, Mondlicht und Dämmerung,
Paysages - Landschaften in der Ferne: Seen im Mondschein, blaue Berge weit am Horizont. Manchmal tauchen hinter den blauen Schatten menschliche Figuren auf, die durch Fenster schauen, nach innen zu uns oder nach außen in die endlose Nacht. Alle Arbeiten sind zwischen 2018 und 2023 entstanden. Nach dem Fixieren des Papiers wird die Arbeit meist auf Leinwand (Collage) aufgezogen oder in weißem Holz gerahmt. Rote Zeichnungen liegen tief im Papier oder als letzte Schicht auf dem PVC/Glas des Rahmens. Die Suche nach Tiefe ist auch hier in diesen Arbeiten ausschlaggebend. Diese figurativen oder abstrakten roten Zeichnungen unterstreichen auch Bewegungen nach Aussen und geben der gesamten Komposition vibrierende Impulse.
The color blue dominates here, a deep blue. A blue in an infinite number of shades that originate from a photographic process: the cyanotype. Since I do not work with photographic negatives, I use the term "photogram" here. In this process, my drawings are placed on paper that has been impregnated with a light-sensitive liquid. When the work is exposed to the sun and daylight
it can turn into the different shades of blue. The whole forms a chiaroscuro that is accented by abstract shapes and lifted drawings
and in which emptiness also prevails. In fact, it is a work in which the stages are carried out in complete darkness - And in the most beautiful daylight. Thus, between the two there is the blue hour, the beginning of an evening, and the blue-pink of the dawn, which at the same time expresses the end of the night. The titles "Dream and Midsummer Night's Dream" and "Landscape by Moonlight" were chosen often for this works because of this promise of festivals, summer nights, warm and pleasant nights, nights of myths and fantasies. An allusion to Shakespeare's famous work.
Blue is for me the color par excellence, which offers so many nuances, transparencies and depths as no other color. Blue expresses eternity, the infinite space that surrounds us and is above us. It is a calm but at the same time energetic color, ideal to express our human states, dreams, feelings and desires to the surface.
