VITA — GERLIND HENTZE
 
Gerlind Hentze (born 1961 in Halle) is a visual artist living and working in Glienicke/Nordbahn (Brandenburg). Her work spans a wide range from painting to sculpture and artist books, as well as wax and relief works. Since 2006 she has developed an emotionally inflected, gestural painterly language shaped by atmospheric color spaces, internal movements, and poetic transitions.
 
She has continually deepened her knowledge and techniques through art courses and workshops with regional artists, as well as through residencies in Gradoli, Italy (2012, 2013). From 2019 to 2024 she studied at the Berlin Academy of Painting and graduated as a Master Student under Andreas Amrhein.
 
Since 2024, Gerlind Hentze has been a member of the Brandenburg Association of Visual Artists (BVBK) and of GEDOK Berlin. Her works have been shown in numerous national and international exhibitions, have been nominated several times for art prizes, and are held in public and private collections.
 
Artist Statement (Short Version)
 
“My work moves in the space between figuration and abstraction. Figures arise as states: fragile, free beings that detach themselves from the boundaries of reality and embody the unboundness of the spirit. The soul appears as an atmosphere—in the tenderness of the lines, in the dissolution of contours, and in the hovering of the figures between presence and rapture. Material, technique, and layers create poetic resonance spaces in which time, feeling, and imagination flow into one another. My art opens a Zwischenraum, where fantasy and experience, body and mind, clarity and mystery merge—a quiet invitation to encounter one’s own soul movement.”
