Judith Grassl — À propos — Slash Paris

In her painting, Judith Grassl navigates between virtual and physical space. The usually empty spaces transform into scenes where various image fragments meet, reminiscent of props left behind on a film set.

Her creative process closely resembles the principle of collage, forming multiple layers within the image that break apart and reunite, generating a multitude of dimensions and perspectives.

Judith Grassl’s paintings seem to oscillate between sharpness and ambiguity. In her works, she creates a new reality that feels like fragments of distant memories—elusive, yet familiar. Her fascination lies in representing temporality, visual aesthetics, and the arrangement of objects, which play a vital role in the composition of her pieces.

Judith Grassl’s paintings are composed of several layers: overlapping colors and forms, different perspectives, and virtual and physical rooms. Fragments of images merge to form visual spaces where she stages questions about time and change.

Her paintings exist on the boundary between realism and surrealism, figuration and abstraction, clarity and ambiguity.

Judith Grassl (born 1985) lives and works in Munich.
