»Berlin-born and based painter Anne Schreiber reflects on the notions of a ‘precarious equilibrium’ and the ‘good struggle’ in painting. While she thoughtfully differentiates between harmony and kitsch, she further elaborates on the differences between a painting (Gemälde) and an image (Bild). She explains that a painting invites the viewer in and keeps their attention unpretentiously, while an image kicks them out before too long. In our interview, Anne Schreiber reflects on the artist’s innate presumptuousness as they are handling inherently complete material and the necessity to make art despite the perfection of all things. She speaks about the studio as a safe place where she can experience chaos, overwhelm, and malaise, all while being in touch with her deeper, truer self in a sublime state of awareness.« — Sarah Arriagada (2021)
