Sylvia Schultes

Born in Kiel. Lives and works in Hamburg. Theater painter at the Städtische Bühnen Bielefeld, after art studies at École nationale d’Arts décoratifs, Nice, France and HfBK, in Hamburg. Exhibitions in Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland, Finland, Greece, India, Venezuela, Japan and the USA.

In her painting, Sylvia Schultes seeks to explore pictorial spatialization through the use of multiple layers of paint. Grid-like structures often meet organic shapes. Through installations, a painting practice is affirmed that moves in real space. Usually, when rolled, crumpled, or hung, long strips of painted paper develop into something resembling an object.
