Born in Germany, Edith Jung studied at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe and completed her studies with a scholarship from Baden-Württemberg Art Foundation. This was followed by a six- month-long guest stay as artist in residence at Villa Massimo, Rome.
She has exhibited in galleries all across Germany and also in Switzerland, Italy and the United States and her work was shown at well known art fairs like LA Art Show, Art Basel and Affordable Art Fair, Milano. Her artworks are collected internationally and also are represented by nameable art collections.
She lives and works as an artist in Karlsruhe.
My works are to be seen as a creative exploration of internal worlds. The points of intersection between these internal and external worlds give rise to symbols of a magic, sacred character, ciphers that allow the viewer to sense and feel more than is actually expressed. They are archaic and yet timeless.
Traces of symbols are created from the application of layers of pigment. The colours have an atmospheric quality that allows one´s gaze to relax, as if looking far into the distance.
An important feature is the smooth movement of colour sounds, shapes and bodies on the flat surface to create the three-dimensional illusion.
