Fairground 

Cathrine Edlinger-Kunze’s Fairground invites us into a world where forms emerge and dissolve. The canvas presents us with a dynamic interplay of blues, reds and whites, each stroke contributing to a dreamlike scene. The composition is a layered narrative, the figures seem suspended, caught between states of being. The artist explores form and figuration by layering color, line, and washes of paint. The structural juxtaposition of bodies and objects creates a disorienting yet compelling experience. Edlinger-Kunze’s piece challenges the viewer to find their own bearings. There is no fixed perspective, no clear focal point, which is to say that the painting is an exercise in visual structuralism. The fairground isn’t a place, but a state of mind. It questions the stability of our perceptions. Meaning is not predetermined, but emerges through an active engagement with its formal qualities.
