Janaina Tschäpe’s solo exhibition has opened with a great success. All of the works in this exhibition reveal how Tschäpe has clearly mastered the technical and aesthetic demands of translating the delicacy and precision of her drawing practice into the challenging scale of her new paintings.

As she describes it, “the drawing is a constant compositional element; it is very controlled [and] precise. The gesture may be light, a caress versus a more aggressive punctuation, [but] it becomes a bit like language: an alphabet of different marks of different length.”The exhibition Janaina compositions always begin with, “an idea of color developing into a landscape,” which is laid down on the canvas in casein, a water-soluble paint derived from milk proteins. The drawing that follows is imposed in watercolor pencil on the surface of the more “traditional landscape” becoming, in her words, like “cartography,” a system of mark-making that she likens to “telling the story of that day.”

Janaina Tschäpe is scheduled to have a solo show for the first time in the beginning of next year in galerie nichido Taipei. Please follow us for the latest updates of the artist!
