HP8 studio artists show their work

In March and April 2025, you can view works of Munich artist Carolina Kreusch’s work “Tageslichttropfen” on the Exhibition Wall in Hall E.

Carolina Kreusch’s works have an immediate, direct appeal. From he very first encounter, they appear very much accessible. As you get closer, you realise that they are hybrid creatures. Her works have a capricious, delicate side. Some mutate into bombast and can be either fragile or robust, depending on the mood. It is the artist’s special talent to give her objects what appears to be a life of their own, to instil in them a sense of self-confidence.

The colours, the three-dimensional forms, all this follows a primal desire for communication. Her repertoire: true glamour and fake glamour, firm tradition and mysterious origins, simple and expensive materials, haute couture and DIY. Profoundly poetic, her sculpture-and-painting hybrids have no ambition to explain the world; they make the world a better place through their vitality and are themselves a special world of their own. They create themselves with the power and pleasure of exuberance and are down-to-earth at heart. (Johannes Muggenthaler)

Carolina Camilla Kreusch (*1978 in Munich) studied from 2003 to 2010 at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste Karlsruhe under Prof John Bock, whose master student she was. She has won numerous awards, including the Kulturpreuis Bayern in 2020, received the 2021 Seerosenpreis für Bildende Kunst of the City of Munich and the Debutante Prize of the Bavarian Ministry of Science and the Arts. She received funding from the Munich-based Erwin and Gisela von Steiner Foundation and, more recently, the one-year scholarship from the Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts.
