Description
Three figures inhabit the same space, yet each seems to remain within a world of their own. Their bodies overlap, colours pass from one into another, and still a subtle distance persists. Heidi Mumenthaler works without preliminary drawings, allowing figures and relationships to emerge directly from the act of painting. The scene is not constructed beforehand; it develops through colour, gesture and intuition. Among Ourselves does not explain what has happened between these figures, nor what binds them together. It leaves that space deliberately open. Closeness and distance, belonging and solitude can exist at the same time. The viewer is invited not to decipher the scene, but to enter it — and perhaps recognise something of their own relationships within it.
