Ausstellung Judith Freise de Matteis

Cafe Caspi | Viktoriastraße | 44789 Bochum | cafecaspi.com

The artist Judith Freise de Matteis has always been interested in people and art in all of its forms. Over the years, this all came together, the social and the artistic. She studied social pedagogy, trained as a theater pedagogue and has worked as an artist since her youth. During her studies, she worked in various stage technical professions and after further training as a media designer in the field of image and sound, she worked for several years in TV productions and in the art business.

She honed her various artistic talents in further training courses with, among others, Josef Beuys' companion, painter and sculptor Wilfried Polke, whose world-famous brother Sigmar Polke not only impressed and influenced the art world, but also Judith. A short scholarship as a painter at the Scarampi Foundation in Italy and a gallery representation in the Association of German Galleries by the gallery owner Alexandra Krass at Gruppe 10 in Bielefeld rounded off her artistic work.

Judith Freise de Matteis has enthusiastic buyers and collectors from Bochum, Berlin, Italy, Switzerland and the Netherlands to the Silicon Valley, California. Judith Freise de Matteis has celebrated considerable success as a visual artist in over 80 exhibitions throughout Europe. Guerrilla art actions, at Documenta 5 and in various museums, have become her latest challenge in recent years.
She finds role models and inspiration in great artists such as Hannah Höch, Jenny Holzer, Frida Kahlo, Tracey Emin, Nikki de Saint Phalle, Max Beckmann, Basquiat, Martin Kippenberger, Banksy, Josef Beuys, Picasso and Robert Rauschenberg, to name just a few of the greats.
Portraits of women have been her main theme from the very beginning. “I think there are still not enough women visible as strong, intelligent and equal partners. And so I continue to paint women, that's all there is to it”, says Judith Freise de Matteis. She has been working with paper and collage for over 10 years, and Judith founded the #SchnipselCollektiv in 2020, which focuses primarily on working with collages.

The title of the exhibition "GLUE" simply comes from the use of glue in her work. "So that I may perceive whatever holds the world together in its inmost folds."- This quote from the famous play Faust from Goethe shows that the question of the nature and interplay of the components of meaning and context plays a major role in people's lives. What holds us together? What glue does it need? There is a story in every picture that can tell us something about this.
