    About:


    The dynamics of the moment

    The central theme in Sabine Rixen's work is movement. Dancers, actors in the theater or simply the posture of persons in certain situations – the triggers can vary.
    But it's always about capturing and holding onto. What you really cannot hold onto: the dynamics and energy of one movement. The passion for this topic had its origin in the time when she made live sketches when performing in different theatres. Later the dance also became an inspiration, "lived music" as she calls it.

    Dance is also present as a central theme of her new work.

    The fact that the works have a sketchy character is deliberate. Nevertheless the effect is not easily obtained with a few strokes
    Sabine Rixen has edited and revised her works again and again. This has also been reflected in the used materials: she likes to paint on recycled surfaces.

    Most recently she has been working on portraits. Again, she is concerned with the capturing of a fleeting moment, the capture of an emotion.
    She likes it when a picture rather raises a question but does not offer an answer.
