ABC-ARTE is pleased to present the work of German artist Ingrid Floss (Cologne, 1970) for the first time in Italy. Through her exploration of contemporary visual language, focusing on color intensity and textured depth, Floss’s work invites the viewer into a multidimensional emotional experience.
The vernissage in Genoa will be held on Thursday, November 28, from 6:30 pm, at Via XX Settembre 11 A.
Inspired by nature and philosophy, Floss’s work delves into themes of spirituality, the subconscious, and inner life. With meticulous layering of chromatic tones, the artist aims to bridge the visible and the invisible in a continuous process of transformation.
“Color is the language of the heart. When organized in a space that arises from within, color can touch the viewer, guiding them on an emotional journey, ultimately leaving them with a clarified awareness.”
(Ingrid Floss)
Since receiving her diploma from the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich in 2003, Ingrid Floss has exhibited extensively in Germany and abroad, with shows at institutions such as Kunstverein Bamberg and Rosenheim and Reutlingen. Her career has also led her to several prestigious residencies, including, most recently in 2023, a residency at the Josef Albers Foundation.
Beyond her exhibitions, Floss is engaged in teaching at various private academies, where she explores the harmony between space, color, and inner meaning, encouraging her students to uncover the emotional potential of painting. In this context, she founded the "Color Lab" at the Academy of Art Bad Reichenhall, a collaborative workshop dedicated to deepening the study of color dynamics in abstract art.
Floss has extended her teaching activity to China, where she has conducted courses on composition and chromatic harmony, using innovative approaches to explore the expressive potential of color. During these workshops, she has fostered a freer artistic expression, drawing on local traditions and generating strong interest from students. Recently, the city of Shenzhen in China hosted a group exhibition featuring well-known artists such as Jerry Zeniuk and RaimerJochims, further establishing her role in the global contemporary art scene.
Currently, several of Floss’s works are part of prestigious Bavarian collections, including the Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlung, underscoring her impact on the German art scene.
A bilingual publication by ABC-ARTE Editions will accompany the exhibition, featuring original texts and rich documentary material.
