Britta Pollmuller aka Pigment
New Zealand
Biography
Contemporary Artists living in Auckland, Aotearoa, New Zealand. Visual artist turned NFT entrepreneur. Bringing original and contemporary art to the NFT market. Pigment's work comes from life; painting always has been her reaction to life’s experiences. It is the expression of her character, style and personal identity. She has exhibited at galleries in London, Berlin, New York, and Auckland. As a painter, she grew strong visually and her interest lays exploring and questioning the movement and influences in art during the 20th and 21st century. Pigment is well travelled and always returns with new cultural inspirations and resources to produce new collections of paintings and prints. Pigment imagines her paintings in the world of modern technology; wondering how relevant painting is in our digital age? This grows out of the apprehension she senses about the development of art and the influence of technology on culture. How can painting reposition itself in relation to image production in our technological age? She wants to be part of the change and be carried by new directions of current NFT influences. As a contemporary painter she is not afraid and believes that painting is still possible. Although painting cannot any longer be somehow ‘itself’ she suggests a re-assessment that painting can be more than paint on a plane surface. Living in the 21st century, Pigment is witnessing the NFT revolution: a major creative and cultural shift and she hope to offer what painting can do! Pigment's work has always been driven by three visual imperatives: the inherent abstraction within nature, pattern, and unified light. Rather than focusing on the truthful depiction of realistic imitation of the world, she is looking at other non-objective artistic elements. Pigment is interested in the visual language of shape, form, color, texture, form, value and line to create a composition that may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world. This abstraction indicates a departure from reality in the depiction of imagery in art.
