ANNEMARIE TERLAGE: PLACES WE ONCE KNEW

Annemarie Terlage’s oeuvre encompasses landscapes and architectural settings, created through a unique experimental approach that combines epoxy and acrylic paint on canvas. Drawing inspiration from personal memories, old picture postcards, and childhood albums, her work evokes a sense of nostalgia and intimacy.

Dreams, memories, and visions of an ideal or fictive world inspired her new recent series of paintings; reminiscent images of modern villa’s surrounded by lush gardens and baroque interiors seem to invite the onlooker to wander in her wanderlust.

Her compositions feature dreamy, delicate colors balanced by resolute lines, resulting in an impressive depth of space. This harmonious interplay stems from her keen painterly eye and a meticulous study of the material qualities of epoxy and acrylic paint. Occasionally, Terlage infuses her work with an almost hallucinatory glow-in-the-dark palette, inspired by memories of nighttime scenes in the United States. This unconventional touch adds a mesmerizing quality to her otherwise classical compositions.
