Paper Studies 16

Mareike Böhmer

Art Analysis

A rhythmic exploration of layered form and tactile geometry

In this piece, Böhmer investigates the physical properties of paper, focusing on how flat planes can create a sense of depth through thoughtful arrangement. The composition relies on the interplay of clean lines and soft textures, allowing the viewer to focus on the weight and placement of each individual element. By stripping away unnecessary detail, the work highlights the inherent beauty of simple materials and the deliberate choices made in their assembly.

The vertical orientation emphasizes a grounded, architectural quality, guiding the eye upward through a series of stacked and overlapping forms. There is a palpable stillness here, rooted in the artist's ability to balance negative space with solid shapes. The result is a study in restraint, where the tactile qualities of the surface become the primary narrative, inviting a close look at the intersections and shadows formed by the layered paper.
