BIOGRAPHY
Charlotte Klobassa (*1987) lives and works in Vienna and Berlin. Charlotte graduated with honours from the University of Applied Arts, where she studied with Judith Eisler.
In her series ‘Scribble’ Charlotte Klobassa draws inspiration from collected pieces of paper found in stationery shops. The papers with test scribbles of unknown authorship manifest a very imminent, impulsive and unconscious composition. By translating the scribbles onto large-scale canvases, Klobassa emphasises on her obsessive precision in execution of details, celebrating the dichotomy between impulsiveness and compulsiveness. At first her paintings appear to be of abstract nature, but taking a closer look they prove to be rather figurative.
