Doris Erbacher

(b 1953, Germany. Lives and works in Mannheim)

Erbacher's practice is influenced by minimalism and characterised by aesthetic simplicity and refinement. Working in series; she is interested in repetitive processes and their visual potential. She uses an abstract language to question the boundaries between physical reality and illusion; maintaining a balance between control and spontaneity in her working process. Through a wide range of media; she explores ideas of relativity and human communication; inviting the viewer to enter into a dialogue with the carefully manipulated surface of the materials she uses.
