Specialist note

“I will run with the painting, like it’s a dog on a leash, chasing and almost falling behind it. That is also the space where I forget myself, where painting becomes something that I don’t control, neither emotionally nor intellectually” - Charline von Heyl (J. Farago, “An Interview with Charline von Heyl”, Even Magazine, no. 7, 2017, online).
