Christa Sütterlin - Böcker

Expressionistic and imbued with colour, the work of Rita De Muynck draws the observer into an autonomous world of experience. Dreams, the vigorous subconscious and synesthesia find sensual expression in her large figurative paintings and witty day and night drawings. This lavishly illustrated book presents her work from 1998 to 2013, accompanied by literary and scientific essays as well as personal contributions.This is the first volume of Rita de Muynck's comprehensive oeuvre which is treading among the tensions of self-induced trance, emotional reality and free colour. Her unique style is characterized by the interconnection of the senses (for example using color to represent sound) and the expression of existential experiences. The sculptures and installations she creates reflect on current circumstances, often with great humor. Born in Belgium Rita De Muynck presently lives in Munich and has a studio in the foothills of the Alps. Her work and performances have been shown, among other places, in Munich, Budapest and Paris.
