At the center of Petra Schuppenhauer's work lies an intense engagement with nature, where woodcut serves as a translation of her personal experiences and observations. Her exploration, for example, of Antarctica, inspired by a multi-week sailing journey, reflects a deep connection to these extreme landscapes, translating the silence and vastness of the views into vibrant, multicolored compositions and subtle atmospheres. The painterly coloration of her woodcuts lends depth and texture to her compositions, enriching them with a dynamic interplay of light and shadow. Whether it's the radiant hues of a polar sunset or the icy blue of a glacier, each nuance contributes to the overall atmosphere of the piece. Her decision to create large-scale woodcuts gives corporeality to her art. The dimensions of her pieces reflect the sublimity of the Antarctic environment, inviting the viewer to fully immerse themselves in the expansive landscapes and lose themselves in their vastness. Nevertheless, her work retains a sense of intimacy and engages the viewer in a dialogue with nature. Furthermore, her woodcuts go beyond mere representation, offering the viewer a perspective that transcends the literal and ventures into the realm of the sublime. Each piece becomes a journey of discovery, inviting the viewer to gain new insights not only about the subject but also about their own perspective.
