Jorinde Voigt - Artists - David Nolan Gallery

Working principally within the medium of drawing, Jorinde Voigt's works have been likened to musical scores, scientific diagrams, or notational thought models. Using a precisely coded system of mark making, the artist gives pictorial form to an array of natural or psychological phenomena. In recent series, Voigt has applied her unique visual method in the deconstruction of works of literature and philosophical texts, highlighting specific words and passages that resonate with her. Voigt deems that language alone fails to adequately describe the complexities of what she perceives around her, and it is in her art that she finds a means to visually express her personal experience of the world.

Jorinde Voigt was born in Frankfurt am Main and lives and works in Berlin. Recent solo museum exhibitions include: The Menil Collection, Houston (2019); Horst-Janssen-Museum, Oldenburg, Germany (2019); St. Matthäus-Kirche, Berlin, Germany (2018); Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart, Berlin (2016); Kunstraum Innsbruck, Austria (2016); Kunsthalle Krems, Austria (2015); MACRO Museo d'Arte Contemporanea, Rome, Italy (2014); Langen Foundation, Neuss, Germany (2013); Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto, Canada (2012); Von der Heydt-Museum, Wuppertal, Germany (2011); and Gemeentemuseum, The Hague, Netherlands (2010), among others.
