Lena Marie Emrich is a sculptor. Through the creation of each of her series, she explores new techniques, materials and systematically combines ancestral or artisanal elements with modern indicators of our time. Everything is tangled between the old, the new, the archaic, the contemporary: it weaves an invisible and subtle link between several eras. Throughout her work, we grasp a praise of contemplation, of short suspended moments, which appear like bubbles, frozen frames in an era where each micro-moment of boredom must be filled immediately. A major source of inspiration and reflection in the artistic practice of Lena Marie Emrich, the concept of time interferes in each of her pieces, in a more or less obvious way: it is discreet, variable, sometimes elusive, but omnipresent. In her latest series Lena Marie Emrich dedicates her work to digital based marquetry produced in an industrial way and fulfilled by human touch.
Emrich has exhibited his work – both individually and collectively in Museums and Institutions including: Sprengel Museum, Hannover, Kunstverein am Rosa-Luxemburg Platz, Kunsthaus Erfurt, Kunstverein Göttingen, Akademie der Künste Berlin, Kunsthal Bergen, Kunstverein Tiergarten Berlin, Sainte Anne Gallery Paris, Office Impart Berlin, Tobias Naehring Gallery Leipzig, Grisebach Düsseldorf and Giovanni Bonelli Milan. Her works can be found in collections such as Burger Collection, Sprengel Museum, ADAC Collection, Arndt Collection and Marval Collection.
