Corinne Wasmuht
Corinne Wasmuht (born 1964) is a German visual artist based in Berlin.
Wasmuht's work deals with issues such as globalization, economic crisis, the proliferation of technology, and modern warfare. She makes paintings in oil paint on wooden boards, using many coats of varnish to add to the brightness of the colours. Her images consist of layered fictional environments that reference abstract painting. Wasmuht paints all elements of her complexly layered and graphic paintings entirely by hand. Of her Bibliotheque/CDG-BSL (2011), Peter Plagens said: "As is often the case, a single work can represent the thrust of a show. Here it's Corinne Wasmuht's enormous triptych... It's a daunting painting... Its wildly varying scale (partial human figures five feet tall to some no more than little clots of paint) and institutional glare are supposed to say something, one assumes, about the socially, politically and culturally overwhelmed and unmoored state in which we currently exist."
