alma goering

from the lively and delicate power of color.

It is this seemingly “compelling existence” of Alma Göring’s works that, once you have seen them, remain indelibly anchored in your own mindset.
Works that satisfy the longing for the steadfast, the tried and tested and the familiar in a time of radical technological change through artificial intelligence, but also through the global political imbalance.
Alma Göring paints modern monoliths – colorful menhirs of modern times (including The Spirit Of Nats; Mazunte; The Pissing God), which serve as places of retreat and thus redefine the archaic.
Not the archaic in the sense of art history**, but the satisfaction of the desire for the‘archaic’in us humans.
That which has been anchored in our genetics for hundreds of thousands of years and makes us human beings.
It creates modern places of worship for our innermost being.
Meditation spaces for self-discovery.
Clean sweep of the brain – resulting in an inner reorganization.

Her pictures not only contain the familiarity of the archaic, but with her wild painting gestures she also succeeds in integrating elements similar to the computer graphics of the early 1980s (including Fiesta de Bodas), which can be confidently described as computer archaic.
With her works, she manages to congenially combine the old and the new and gives a future to a new and, above all, necessary archaism. “the necessarity of a future archaics*.” Her tool is first and foremost color.
She masters its logic, properties and power like no other.
With an unerring sense of structure and gesture, both in large format and on small PaperWorks, she creates out- standing compositions on the painting surface.
The artist, who belongs to abstract expressionism in the broadest sense, occasionally makes an excursion into the figurative spectrum of art and borrows from the “young savages” in her painting and also develops a “cave drawing 2.0 style” in her sketches.
In any case, it remains archetypal and extremely exciting.
** Classical Archaic: epoch in the political and cultural development of ancient Greece.
(900 - 700 BC).

i create color monoliths - large and small.

“It took me 20 years to even begin to understand the nature of color. Today I can deal with it; but the more I paint, the more questions arise. It’s a science that you can understand rationally, but you have to internalize it. And you can only do that by painting, painting and painting again until you can’t get the paint out of your head or off your hands,” says Alma Göring with a knowing smile on her face.
Alma Göring uses color like a communication specialist.
She is aware of the mechanisms of color.
She can use it to create imaginary spaces, she knows which color dominates which, she creates dependencies and references.
She succeeds in creating both clear, clashing, cold, light purity and delicate playfulness.
She plays virtuously with borrowings from Blinki Palermo as well as Joan Mitchell and Willem de Kooning.
She masters the vibrant and delicate violence of color like few others, and in doing so she is quite unique.
Despite all her emotional colorfulness and organic gestures, one thing seems particularly remarkable: you always remain a physical spectator of her large scenes; you stand in front of them in amazement and remain fascinated at a distance.
Overwhelmed by the force of her painting.
These monoliths require distance in order to trigger the “archaic effect” in the mind, which is so infinitely beneficial.
Her smaller works behave the other way around.
Proximity is necessary here.
Here it is the materiality, the smallest nuances that matter.
Go on a journey of discovery!
