aug. 28 - sept. 25, 2010
taguchi fine art, ltd.




























Born in Obermaubach/ Eifel, Germany in 1961, Ingrid Weber now resides in Duesseldorf. She got the Meisterschuerin from Jan Dibbets at the Art Academy in Duesseldorf in 1999 and worked as assistant of Dibbets for few years. Received a scholarship from Ernst Poensgen Foundation and stayed in New York in 2000.
She participated in the group show at Meguro Art Museum, Tokyo, "Yellow - Power of the Earth and Light from the Air" in July, 2004 and worked under the Open Studio Program at Fuchu Art Museum, Tokyo from October through November, 2004.


Ingrid Weber has been consistently creating monochrome painting which is constructed with a single color pigment or a few limited number of different color pigments.
Before she paints, as a preparatory process, she carefully compounds some different colors of pigments. By changing the proportion of each pigment to mix, Weber makes some new color pigments that have slightly different "color-value" from each other. For instance, she makes many different kind of green color pigments, changing the portion of yellow color pigment or blue color pigment, or changing quantities or type of bind materials. Then she chooses some slightly different color-value pigments and paints them on canvases respectively.


This time, four paintings with alizarin violet in defferent sizes and one painting with cadmium yellow, using egg as medium will be on view.
