Statement
Jutta Siebert's works of art set signs, or rather are signs, signal-like expressions of eventful content, stories and dialogs. The result is a universal code that can be deciphered by each viewer in their own individual way. Her minimalism ensures that the viewer receives what the artist has not painted.
The fact that one cannot get enough of it is also due to the artist's curiosity, her longing for the eternally new. Jutta Siebert wants to disrupt viewing habits in order to provoke new aspects of the familiar.
The artist is concerned with the networking of different levels of consciousness, the interaction between the present, the possibly distorted or fragmented memory and the stored experiences that are outside our conscious perception.
In order to realize this in her oeuvre, she cultivates a way of working that can be described as a “dialogue of her own plurality”. “Even if I lived completely alone, I would still live my whole life in a state of plurality. I have to come to terms with myself, and nowhere is this I-with-me more evident than in abstract thinking, which is always a dialog of the split between the two-in-one,” writes the philosopher Hannah Arendt in her book ‘Socrates, Apology of Plurality’. This short passage, transferred from philosophical thought to free painting, characterizes the essence of the content of her work. Her way of working can be seen as a dialog between herself and what is created.
