The publication brings together 66 images of oil paintings by Clausnitzer and provides a comprehensive insight into her work. Text in English and German. The publication Clausnitzer. My Sweet Demon brings together 66 images of oil paintings by the artist, most of them large-scale, and provides a comprehensive insight into her work. Over five chapters, this book presents key cycles of her work, which explores the fragmentation and overlaying of identities. Doubled and mirrored storylines unfold on various pictorial levels: figures interact across timelines and genres, transcending the boundaries between the physical and the spiritual, between the sublime and the mundane. Motifs from the collective visual memory, from the history of art and cinema together with elements from newspaper photographs combine to create complex pictorial worlds. The title hints at the simultaneity of light and dark, good and evil, of this world and the Hereafter, and shapes the works both in terms of content and form. An in-depth interview provides deeper insights into the artist’s working process, while an accompanying text by Ludwig Seyfarth situates her work in an art-historical context. Text in English and German.
