Artist Statement:

Claudia Feigk was born in Weinheim (Germany) in 1976.
After studying Visual Communication and Media Art in Germany, she has been working as a Cross Media Artist hand in hand with clients and project teams in delivering compelling user interfaces, designs and artwork. Since 2003 she lives and works in London and concentrates on painting.
She views the world through the basic principles of design, which she learned early in her career: line, form and colour. Her approach to art has developed naturally from a purist attitude toward media integrity and is the logical culmination of her extensive academic training in communication and design.
Effectively, for her ‘less is more’. There should not be too many effects, one’s gaze should not be overwhelmed, presence should neither be multiplied nor emphazised. Claudia Feigk wishes to particularize a modest aesthetic quality, making us concentrate upon it in such a way that we perceive it in its simplicity and its strength.
With clear references on 20th century icons, her work speaks of transcontinental fashion and glamour through flat colour and abstracted lines and shapes that provide both subtle and stark impressions of figuration.

Claudia Feigk has always been extremely conscious of the function of her work within the ‘economy’ of a collection which links the artist to his purchasers in a manner far more significant than the considerations of a purely monetary exchange. She is aware of the demands of art itself and the demands of aesthetic pleasure.

‘Art must be like a good armchair in which one can rest, … a painting must have a decorative and expressive value that has an effect on the onlooker’ (Matisse)
