WALDENBUCH.- Regine Schumann’s art lives from the interaction between colour, light, materials and space. For her wall and floor installations she almost exclusively uses materials which, once appropriately charged with light energy, light up of their own accord. The exhibition is on view until May 01, 2011 at Museum Ritter. Fluorescent acrylic glass is her material of preference, although in recent years she has also frequently worked with UV-active Plastilight strings. With these means the artist constructs perfectly geometrical rectangular picture boxes and smoothly arched forms, or uses them to crochet large objects using basic primal structures that extend out over the floor or walls. In her searching inquiries into colour and colour spaces, Regine Schumann is very much a painter, if not in the classical sense of the word, because she breaks with conventional ideas by employing unusual concepts and techniques.
