Vera Hilger

Vera Hilger prefers to work with large formats; they best allow her to make use of the possibilities presented by the material, tempera and oils. Layer for layer, she covers her canvasses with paint—bright, dark, thicker, thinner—until the moment arises that she seeks: a shimmer of material. This painterly process extending over long periods of time is precisely what fascinates the artist about painting.

Basically, Hilger’s untitled paintings present nothing concrete to view. They are supposed to stimulate close scrutiny; sometimes one can identify phenomena from nature. But what may be clearly recognized is the play of light and shadow that plays a significant role in many of her works. What is special about Hilger’s manner of painting is that she works with the paint so as to get it to do what it is capable of doing itself. (Miriam Elebe)
