ABOUT

Bianca Froese-Acquaye

ENGLISH

The expressive, mainly large formatted and brightly coloured paintings of artist Bianca Froese-Acquaye leave no option to the viewer: softly but firmly they direct their eyes to the expressive compositions while making clear: these paintings develop a hypnotic life of their own.

With an unusual eruptive impulsiveness, Bianca Froese-Acquaye’s pictures tell stories from worlds of surreal dreams and feelings, from archaic sources of her own unique mentality and spirituality, talking through neo-cubist and abstract elements: a universal language which through its harmonic and predominantly pure colour compositions does not need translation.

In 2001 the well-known electronic band “Tangerine Dream” commissioned a cycle of 16 Paintings to the theme of “The Divine Comedy – Inferno/Purgatorio/Paradiso” for CD-covers-artwork.
