More about Caroline von Grone
Caroline von Grone finds her subjects through "observation", as she puts it, "without making them up". The 'finding' takes place via her razor-sharp perception as she meticulously notices even the tiniest details in all their brevity. But when she captures these brief moments, she preserves their vagueness and fleetingness - in contrast to her motionless models or objects.
The artist works on site, no matter if it's a draughty subway station, a building lot in the neighbourhood, or her sitting-room. Especially everyday places and sceneries fascinate the artist. Over a longer period she documents the subtle changes with photos, sketches and paintings.
