Andrea van Reimersdahl is based in Berlin and was born on the German-Dutch border, in a region with traditional textile production. Since graduating as a master student of Prof. Katharina Grosse, she has concentrated on painted and printed textiles as canvases, mainly using screen printing and pigment painting.

Van Reimersdahl works on an abstract, organic formal language that creates a connection between her surroundings and her identity. From the outline drawings of her shadow silhouette, she develops a diverse world of organic structures in a wide range of colors. In this working practice, she explores our perception of organic elements and their organizing principles in the space around us.

As templates for painting and screen printing, they are scaled, mirrored and collected. The use of color is an intuitive process that plays with nuances, transparencies and overlays. Her impulse is to soften contrasts and to explore intermediate shades. These works relate to the human silhouette and interact with our surroundings in ever new ways.

she has received grants and prizes from the Hans and Charlotte Krull Foundation, the Stiftung Kunstfonds, the Kulturwerk der VG-Bild Kunst and the Reclaim Award. In 2023, she received a residency scholarship from the DKB Foundation at Schloss Liebenberg. Her works are included in private collections.
