Christiane Budig works with glass, a fragile, transparent material. She uses it to create fragments of the human body that envelop an inner void like an outer skin. The sculptures are extremely fragile, they seem transparent, but the glass distorts the view. And everything is unclear despite the transparency. The boundaries between inside and outside can no longer be precisely defined. This is precisely the interface with David Rothenfels. As a placeholder and prototype of a man in the modern business world, David Rothenfels' pictures always feature himself. David Rothenfels deals with the fa\u00e7ade of our modern society, the ideal of beauty, the dictates of fashion and modern business behaviour. His pictures tell of the world behind this fa\u00e7ade, a strange and surreal world. His gaze is sober and sharp, as is his translation into painting. Christiane Budig combines glass with many other materials, such as rubber, metal, wood and mirrors. She increases the expressiveness of her sculptures through this contact of materials. In David Rothenfels' paintings, reflections and mirrored surfaces thematise the strangeness of the world without contact and warmth.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>[r6_row]<br \/>\n[r6_col n=\"3\u2033]<a href=\"https:\/\/staging.projekt18-domain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/ROOT2020-Christiane-Budig-was-bewegt_Einzelobjekt.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5174\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.projekt18-domain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/ROOT2020-Christiane-Budig-was-bewegt_Einzelobjekt-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\"><\/a>[\/r6_col]<br \/>\n[r6_col n=\"9\u2033]<strong>Vita Christiane Budig<\/strong><br \/>\nBorn in Luckenwalde in 1969, lives and works in Halle\/Saale.<br \/>\nFrom 1994 to 1996, Budig studied vessel design under Prof Kittel at HKD Burg Giebichenstein and from 1996 to 2002 glass, painting and graphic art under Prof Triebsch.
