Charline von Heyl’s bold paintings are untamable. Each painting with its individual logic stimulates an open-ended on-going series of experiences. Within the same work von Heyl’s painting can conjoin doubt and ecstasy, states of intoxication and sober insight. Her paintings command our attention. They arrest the viewer intellectually, physically and emotionally.

“For me, what makes a painting is a mixture of authority and freedom, where it really just wants to be itself, where there is no justification, or explanation, or anything like that. Where itʼs just what it is for whatever reason.”
