Janaina Tschäpe
The painterly conquest of space
Through highly gestural and beautifully coloured compositions, Janaina Tschäpe skillfully blurs the line between landscape and imagination. This volume highlights the last seven years of the artist's work, which has seen a breakthrough in the level of visual complexity, technical confidence, and aesthetic freedom that she brings to it.
A new essay by art historian Joachim Pissarro delves into the literary and historical references that shape and inform Tschäpe's approach to painting. Richly illustrated, with superb reproductions of the artwork alongside installation images of Tschäpe's museum and gallery exhibitions worldwide, this monograph documents a prolific period of creativity and her boundary-pushing use of media.

About the Author
Janaina Tschäpe is a German-Brazilian artist whose multidisciplinary work includes painting, drawing, photography, video and sculpture. Her compositions are characterized by amorphous forms and organic structures that pursue a dialogue between the different media. Tschäpe's dreamlike abstractions refer to remembered landscapes and an enigmatic nature. Her works can be found in numerous important public collections such as the Centre Pompidou, Paris; Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid; Museu de Arte Moderna do Rio de Janeiro; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, and National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, among others.
