Description
Eliza Wagener (*1994), based in Hamburg, Germany, and studying at HFBK Hamburg, employs a unique painting technique relying on chance. Using high-water-content paint, she allows streaks to flow across the canvas, creating an abstract base. These random marks dictate the direction of her process, with Wagener’s intervention shaping forms and figures from the chaos. Her motifs emerge spontaneously, not from preconceived ideas but as discovered realities within the canvas. These ghostly apparitions, tinged with melancholy and fairytale-like imagery, reflect Wagener’s personal emotional landscape.
