Lives and works in Munich and Chiemsee in Germany
BIO //
Vicky Anna Lardschneider is an artist living and working in Munich and at the Lake Chiemsee. Her practice explores landscape as a site of continuous transformation and investigates how time, material and natural processes become perceptible through traces and surfaces.
Working across painting, frottage and installation, Lardschneider engages with natural materials including earth pigments, graphite and indigo, often gathered or processed in relation to specific places. Some works emerge through direct physical contact with a landscape; others develop in the studio from materials, observations and experiences carried back from it. Rather than depicting landscape, her work examines the processes through which it is continuously formed and transformed.
Her ongoing project TRACES extends this research through site-responsive works created in direct encounter with specific landscapes. Geological conditions, weather, altitude and physical exposure become part of the artistic process, approaching landscape as a living archive of forces and temporal processes that often exceed immediate human perception.
With a background in architecture, Lardschneider’s practice is informed by a sensitivity to material, space and the physical experience of place.
