With artist Conny Maier, the Staatliche Graphische Sammlung München presents a rarely encountered position in the international art world, one that is authentic and at the same time unconventional. Her paintings and drawings also captivate through a wilful artistic hand.
At first glance, one gets the impression that Conny Maier evokes the visual language of early Expressionism, particularly that of the Munich Blaue Reiter, while her colour palette can take on a subtle old-master colouring. This beautiful appearance is disrupted by aesthetic eruptions that are close to Art Brut and always give her motifs something wild and archaic. Her enigmatic scenes are determined by archetypes that play through elementary forms of interpersonal encounter.
