In front of Inge Dick’s paintings, viewers experience the withdrawal of all those facts that are expected of an image. Her pictures relate to the exhibition space and its wall structure; in a sense, they are a single object. The size and proportions of the pictures in relation to the space are decisive.
Minimal art is about this reduction to the extreme and the connection between perception and thought. Inge Dick’s works are to be seen in this context – they evoke something elemental, they lack anything that would allow them to evade the narrative or representational. They are not only subtle in their appearance, but at the same time the presence and categorical conditions of existence become visible.
