Angela Lubic und Doris Titze
Doris Titze’s body-sized paintings interact with Angela Lubič’s linear spaces in the greatest possible contrast. At the same time, they combine a basic artistic attitude that only becomes visible at second glance. The organic structures of the drawings refer to the liveliness and spontaneity of the architectural lines. Their spatial communication in turn reveals the consistent non-representational nature of the drawings. The surface becomes the space, the space becomes the line and vice versa. Both enable communication, movement and encounters.
Both artists work with a high degree of abstraction in their drawings. The different reference of the lines in space creates an exciting interplay. Angela Lubič’s architectural body is defined by clear geometric lines in three-dimensional spaces. Doris Titze’s rhythmic, organic lines condense into two-dimensional symmetries close to the body.
Angela Lubič’s spatial drawings vary and irritate a supposedly familiar, spatial static. On the other hand, she crystallizes elements of the space, makes them visible and refers to the situational conditions on site. She usually works site-specifically and uses lines in her expansive installations that wander through the space, mark and connect the space, and change its perspective. Following the walls, window recesses and protrusions, lines run through the room and create their own surfaces, circumscribe outlines, occupy their own spaces and thus question the architectural space. The existing walls dictate the course of the lines.
Doris Titze’s drawings move between circle, triangle, cross and spiral, which she individualizes and combines with organic forms during the working process. She works with movement, symmetry and asymmetry, layering lines within the two-dimensional paper to create virtual spaces. On the one hand, her concentrated gestures emphasize the direct implementation of her movements through the pencil; on the other hand, she abstracts the physical rhythm into the surface. Inner and outer images intertwine.
