Bio

Susanne S. D. Themlitz (Lisbon, 1968) is an artist of Portuguese and German nationality who lives and works in Lisbon, Sintra, and Cologne. Between 1987 and 1995, she studied drawing and sculpture at Ar.Co – Centro de Arte e Comunicação Visual in Lisbon, studied at the Royal College of Art in London, and completed a master’s degree in visual arts at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. She has exhibited regularly since 1998 and is represented in several institutional and private collections. Over the years, her work developed into a poetic universe of great symbolism, in constant dialogue with art history, literature, natural sciences, popular traditions, and children’s stories. These references seldom become explicit in the imaginary landscapes and hybrid figures with which Themlitz creates environ- ments of silent theatricality that summon the viewer, turned into an active participant in scenes where the visible and the hinted dialogue and enhance each other in the space of imagination and fiction. The links between reality and the unconscious real, the landscape as a place of human inscription, memo- ry and forgetting, metamorphosis and the passage between states, the borderline zones where things become uncertain and mutually contaminate each other, the interstitial spaces that open the way to dream and fantasy—sometimes to dormancy—are themes cherished by the artist. Her sculptures and installations open towards parallel worlds where domestic or industrial objects are transformed and combined with natural elements, and mutant, introspective and almost always faceless beings, surprisingly plausible in their otherness and singularity, as well as with drawings and paintings that mix the descriptive detail of graffiti, stamped paints and collages of various materials such as news- paper clippings or wallpaper. Photography and video complement Themlitz’s transdisciplinary approach to artistic media, as well as written work sometimes in the form of artist’s books. Through the images and sensations generated in the viewer by her works crosses the unthought and the resistance to verbal codification, to which also contributes the search for unusual ways of occupying spaces, through elevations or suspensions that distort the axes of vision or which allude to the underground and the subterranean world where certain species breathe and thrive; as well as the subversion of propor- tions and scales, deformed and inverted through macrocephaly or the atrophy of bodies and the use of lenses and glass. At the center of Themlitz’s work lies an intention, sometimes humorous, sometimes melancholic, to create images and objects that are all the more effective when viewers allow themselves to be drawn into a suspension of disbelief enabling them to access other modes of perceiving reality.

Susanne S. D. Themlitz (Lisboa, 1968) é uma artista de nacionalidade portuguesa e alemã que vive e trabalha em Lisboa, Sintra e Colónia. Entre 1987 e 1995, estudou desenho e escultura no Ar.Co – Centro de Arte e Comunicação Visual, em Lisboa, fez estudos no Royal College of Art, em Londres, e completou o mestrado em artes visuais da Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. Expõe regularmente desde 1998 e está representada em diversas coleções institucionais e particulares. Ao longo dos anos, a sua obra tem vindo a constituir-se como um universo poético de grande simbolismo e em diálogo constante com a história da arte, a literatura, as ciências naturais, as tradições populares e as estórias infantis. Estes referentes raramente se tornam explícitos nas paisagens imaginárias e nas figuras híbridas com as quais Themlitz cria ambientes de uma teatralidade silenciosa que convocam o espetador, tornado participante ativo de cenas onde o visível e o sugerido dialogam e potenciam-se mutuamente no es- paço da imaginação e da ficção. Os vínculos entre a realidade e o real inconsciente, a paisagem como lugar de inscrição do humano, a memória e o esquecimento, a metamorfose e a passagem entre esta- dos, as zonas limítrofes em que as coisas se tornam incertas e contaminam mutuamente, os espaços intersticiais que abrem caminho ao devaneio e à fantasia – por vezes à dormência –, são temas caros à artista. As suas esculturas e instalações abrem para mundos paralelos onde se acumulam e agregam objetos domésticos ou industriais transformados e combinados com elementos naturais, e seres mu- tantes, introspetivos e quase sempre sem rosto, surpreendentemente plausíveis na sua alteridade e singularidade, bem como desenhos e pinturas que misturam a minúcia descritiva do grafite, as tintas estampadas por calcagem e as colagens de materiais variados como recortes de jornais ou papéis de parede. A fotografia e o vídeo completam a abordagem transdisciplinar de Themlitz aos meios artísti- cos, bem como uma produção escrita que, por vezes, toma a forma de livros de artista. Pelas imagens e sensações geradas no espetador através das suas obras, perpassa o impensado e a resistência à codificação verbal, para os quais contribuem, ainda, a busca por formas incomuns de ocupar os es- paços, através de elevações ou suspensões que distorcem os eixos de visão ou de alusões ao subsolo e ao mundo subterrâneo onde determinadas espécies respiram e prosperam; bem como a subversão das proporções e das escalas, deformadas e invertidas por meio da macrocefalia ou da atrofia dos corpos e do uso de lentes e vidros. No cerne do trabalho de Themlitz reside uma intenção, por vezes humorada, por vezes melancólica, de criar imagens e objetos tão mais eficazes quanto o espetador se deixa envolver na suspensão da descrença que lhe permite aceder a outros modos de percepção da realidade.
