Kerstin Brätsch

She's Back

A large-scale work on newsprint, *She's Back* sees Kerstin Brätsch apply spray paint to the ephemeral, everyday surface of newspaper, allowing the medium's inherent fragility to contrast with the bold, gestural marks of the paint. The work is encased in a Plexiglas frame secured with industrial metal clamps, a signature framing device the artist uses to blur the boundaries between painting, sculpture, and display infrastructure. This tension between the transient and the structural, the organic and the industrial, is central to Brätsch's ongoing interrogation of painting as both object and system.
