Emde Gallery is very pleased to present the exhibition "Colliding" with paintings by Lea Schäfer. On display are paintings on canvas and wooden panels created over a period of approximately two years. The exhibition also includes Lea Schäfer's latest compositions and thus offers an insight into her artistic development. For several years now, the artist has been dealing with grids in different variations in her artistic work. Inevitably, a connection between the grid and the pixel and thus the computer is established. In addition, Lea Schäfer questions the grid as a motivic pictorial formula. The flatness caused by the two coordinates pushes back the reference to the real world in the picture and once again emphasizes the autonomy of abstraction in the 20th century. In her works, Lea Schäfer reflects this historical as well as today's digitally influenced dimension of the grid and transfers it into the material world.
