Crimson, referring to the red thread that the artist has used in her body of work since her first piece — tying it together like an invisible structure, in the spirit of the German idiom “sich wie ein roter Faden durch das Leben ziehen” — is not a motif, nor a narrative element; it is a metaphysical line, a force that moves like a breath: sometimes visible, often invisible, but always present. It is not material, nor continuity in a linear sense; it is spiritual structure, a silent axis bridging origin and direction, presence and transcendence, the material and the immaterial. Rooted in ancient mythologies yet stripped of all illustrative impulse, the Crimson emerges as an elemental gesture — a revelation rather than a depiction. It resides in the liminal space where silence speaks, where the sacred is not represented but felt. Roescheisen’s simplicity is not aesthetic reduction; it is distilled essence: — presence.
Modern Fine Art is pleased to present a new body of work by German multidisciplinary artist Annina Roescheisen. In The Crimson series, Roescheisen distills the red thread into its most essential, conceptual form.
