Lena von Goedeke

"Lena von Goedekes works are accomplices and ambassadors of nature. They show nature, as landscape, mountains and sea, sand and rock; they orientate on nature, imitate her copious faces, like the sparkle of ice, the warmth of wood or the brittle draught of rubble; they tell about nature, about her unrestrained firmness und disarming beauty; they mediate between her and the beholder, while not withholding the great distance that has forced itself between him and the uncharted territory that is left on earth.
Work for Lena von Goedeke began right there by seeing and thinking, the implementation however started later. She lets the impressions effect her, absorbs them with astonishing sensibility und works then, with brilliant clarity and intelligence on her art. Whoever is familiar with her art knows her sharp view, her ability to pinpoint core elements of our environment in her sculptures, paperworks, drawings and installations in a way, that they encourage us to rethink critical topics of our time"
