Image Interpretation
In vibrant sea green and deep turquoise, two archaic-looking fish figures emerge from the background – geometrically structured, almost like fossilized creatures from another time, while a delicate, sketchy fish on the left of the image glides by, silent and untouched. The white scratch marks, which stretch across the entire surface like rays of light or the movement of water, lend the work a vibrant, living depth.
Atmosphere & Effect
The image creates the feeling of being underwater oneself – in a strange, silent world where primeval creatures make their way and light falls refracted through the surface of the water. It is simultaneously scientifically precise and fabulously detached.
Background & Meaning
The fish is the recurring leitmotif in the work of Ri Meuser von Eschmar – a symbol of purity, bliss, and immortality in the early Christian sense – and this early work from 1970 shows how deeply this symbolism was rooted in her art from the very beginning, long before her study trips to the deep-sea fishermen off Iceland and Greenland would further deepen her understanding of the primordial power of water.
Was ist Monosgrafitto?
Monosgrafitto ist eine einzigartige Maltechnik, die Ri Meuser von Eschmar über Jahrzehnte entwickelt und verfeinert hat. Dabei wird Farbe in mehreren Schichten aufgetragen und noch im feuchten Zustand durch gezieltes Einritzen und Abtragen wieder freigelegt.
