Sonja Weber


The art of Sonja Weber focuses on textures that are stolen to Nature; in ephemeral moments that the artist captures with her camera, before they are gone forever. Imposing images of clouds, water, hair, light or mountains that are transformed by Weber in a woven material and tautened on a canvas frame. There is no such thing as paint in Weber’s works, no prints, no mixed media, no other material as the art itself. 

 

„To the careful observer, everyday life does offer impressions worthy of notice, and these are the foundation for this oppositional world. In no way is it an escape into an imaginary world; it is not resignation, but the attempt to recall, to be aware that there is still hope in the world, even if it is not always visible, recognizable. It is possible for the viewer to take flight for a bit into my pictures of water and clouds, in order to calm down, relax, feel at ease. Even if these statements are not in accordance with the zeitgeist of contemporary art, they are admittedly the things that everyone longs for or desires deep inside.“ (Sonja Weber)
