Andrea Bender Stubenrein
With their free-flowing impasto, Andrea Bender's images open up a disconcerting gap between figure and colorful backdrop. Opulent palaces reminiscent of Versailles, or horror-story scenarios worthy of Howard Phillips Lovecraft, are pervaded by an eerie, elusive brand of reality, marked by unsettling permutations and confusions. The figures peopling these worlds blur in unexpected ways the edges between real versus dreamed, beautiful versus ugly, light versus heavy. Bender deploys the human body as ponderous material entity only to then dissolve it again, revealing it to be a mere translucent vision, an immaterial phenomenon. She creates paintings that transcend all lumbering pathos to generate floating meanings and transparent worlds, parodying cliché-laden notions and resisting any smooth aesthetic.
