“I’m fascinated by taking a fresh look at the material and subtly reproducing it through innovation, abstraction and improvisation. In doing so, the artistic reinterpretation of printing techniques appeals to me, but it’s also about the associated discourse around this high-quality printing process.”

Christina Wildgrube, who was born in Luther’s town of Wittenberg in 1983, is as an artist in the field of printed graphics based in Leipzig. She studied communications design in Berlin and Chicago and did a masters at the Academy of Fine Arts in Leipzig. She gained experience in mediation work with children and young people at an art school in her hometown and at Braunschweig Theatre. Wildgrube sees the driving force behind her artistic creation as “reviewing and challenging the limits of what’s feasible in order to come up with surprising pictorial solutions – including beyond the field of printed graphics”. With “Big and small pictures”, the concept she developed for students at Einhard School, she would like to give them the opportunity to express themselves in different formats and techniques and thus develop their own pictorial language. “Because,” according to Wildgrube, “when I work in a big format, I suddenly feel big!”
