Anne Wölk
Anne Wölk was born in Jena, Germany. She received her MFA in Studio Art and Painting from The School of Art and Design Berlin in 2009. Wölk is known for her figurative paintings, which are influenced by the realistic contemporary artist Vija Celmins. Her work explores themes of interstellar dust, starscapes, and planetary systems, creating a sense of solace as viewers travel through the cosmos and encounter fictional realities. Wölk's painting practice combines techniques of old masters, modern technologies, and digital culture to create multidisciplinary paintings that question our relationships to the universe.
Wölk's work has been exhibited alongside esteemed artists such as Robert Rauschenberg, Cindy Sherman, and Stephan Balkenhol, demonstrating her international recognition and artistic prowess. In 2017, Wölk was announced as the Showcase Juried Winner in the painting category of the 9th Artslant Prize. In 2022, Wölk won the National scholarship award from Stiftung Kunstfonds (Neustart/Kultur), Bonn, Germany.
