Verena Brassel’s paintings cast a spell over the viewer. New worlds materialize; color and light forms play games, take on shapes and then dissolve again. Mysterious symbols appear, archaic hieroglyphs of another, transcendental world. Her paintings must be viewed with more than just the eyes. They blossom under the gaze of viewers who are not guided by and caught up in the outer form, but rather are willing to undertake a voyage of discovery into the unique universe of Brassel’s work.
