Artist Statement
Claudia Kaak is a German self-taught artist whose main subject is the human figure. Her paintings are painted in oil, mostly wet-on-wet, are based on photographs and movie stills. Every work has an autobiographical and social narrative which focuses on her childhood experiences. Her artwork deals with existential feelings, the inner strife of human beings and the extreme unlimited emotional and physical experience of pain. Her work is mostly untitled with a number assigned to a series in order not to influence the viewer. Her intention is to break taboo and allow emotional disorder to seep through the artwork.
