Dancing back and forth between form and surface, Ina Gerken is developing an indissoluble body of work that is surprising and unique in its artistic nonconformity. Emerging amid the gestural scribbles and layerings are streaks, tangles, grids, structures, patterns, waves, clouds, stripes, fans, and much more… Natural chaos or chaotic nature in all its inimitable beauty, Gerken’s painting are a glimpse into the essence of things and world with no clear up or down. (Gregor Jansen, 2022). 

Ina Gerken received her BA from the Kunsthochschule Mainz and her MA from the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf.
