The work, created specifically for the rotunda of the Hentrichhaus and titled „Einblicke“, is painted in ink on paper.
The idea for it arose from the particular characteristics of the Hentrichhaus, with its dynamic staircase and the open lines of sight into the Malkastenpark and the Hofgarten.
The non-representational work is executed in the open sense of a sketch, in which all traces of the painting process remain visible. Alongside lines, surfaces and gradations of grey, elements of monotype flow into the process. Like a sketch, the painter experiments with the possibilities of applying colour and responds directly and intuitively to unpredictable flows.
In the series „Chiaroscuro“, Natalie Bell playfully tries to reassure herself of her impressions and memories of light, movement and dynamism.
Natalie Bell lives and works in Düsseldorf and Duisburg.
