Featuring artworks by Artist Astrid Krehan-Photographer

Astrid was born in Nuremberg, Germany, her original works convert modern-day spaces and objects into highly saturated color images. Her flowing series often verges on the abstract, whether capturing the tranquility of the rural countryside or the vibrant aura of major cities. As a surface scientist by education, she is drawn into details, patterns, textures, forms and colours that we are surrounded with and are influencing our feelings of comfort. Using various combinations of camera techniques and playing with light and colours, her intention is to capture movements, flows and feelings of moments. She gradually integrated these techniques of abstract photography into her works when arriving in Shanghai, where she lived and worked for more than seven years.

For her the camera is the brush that paints the images that she visualizes, it is the eye that reveals patterns and colours that are not visible to the human eye.

Astrid Krehan’s art pieces have been regularly exhibited in Shanghai, across China, and at Photo-fairs Shanghai through varies art galleries. In China her works are represented by ArtCN gallery in Shanghai. In addition she has had two solo shows in Switzerland/Zurich “ASIA IN PATTERN” at INTWINE, Zurich and CHINA IN THE EYES OF ASTRID KREHAN” at Gallery Agenor, already in the short time that she has been living in Switzerland.

  “...The camera is my magic tool to create my work, it enables me to reveal beauty that we otherwise would never see” __ Astrid
