Corinne Wasmuht

Corinne Wasmuht (born 1964) is a German visual artist. She is currently based in Berlin.^[1]

Early life and education

Wasmuht was born in 1964 in Dortmund, Germany.^[1] From 1983-1992 she studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf in Düsseldorf, Germany.^[1]

Career

She makes paintings in oil paint on wooden boards, using many coats of varnish to add to the brightness of the colours.^[2] Her images consist of layered fictional environments that reference abstract painting.^[3] The complexity of her latest work reveals that she uses a screenprinting technique with enamel paints that are oil-based, instead of painting the work by hand.
