 
Great art is magnetic to our attention, appealing to our innate aesthetic sensibilities, drawing us into a visual experience. A contemporary artist whose art is reflective of this standard is Christiane Lohrig, who crafts oversized mixed-media works that are truly stunning to behold. Each painting is crafted in stages, beginning with acrylic paint and later employing an assortment of unusual media such as paper rags, sand, collagen, and timeworn steel. Layer after layer is applied, working the surface until finally stencils or fine lines are sprayed or etched into the damp paint. Her imagery exudes an earthy elegance, reliant upon the powerful movement of outsized shapes and the patterns, numbers, and letters peeking from the edges. "With the multifarious mix of material, the nearly sculptural character and all the secret hints, the paintings take viewers on an enthralling voyage of discovery into the world of the unconscious and the emotions," she states.
Christiane Lohrig has exhibited in Germany, Luxembourg, and the United States. She resides in Saarbrücken, Germany.
