Jorinde Voigt’s investigation of perceptual phenomena translates in her work as abstract configurations and systems that depict what can only be described as an “inner world of experience”. Philosophical texts, musical compositions, literature and nature have served the artist as source materials for her constant exploration of perception, sensation and presence. What looks like scientific diagrams or musical scores in her pieces, are a study of what abstract thought looks like or is perceived as by the artist. Visually, Voigt’s works are inextricably linked to drawing as a medium, but in her practice, the artist has come to embrace collage, design, painterly elements and sculpture.

Jorinde Voigt (Germany, 1977) is a multidisciplinary visual artist based in Berlin. From 2014 to 2019, she taught at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Munich, and today she is Professor of Conceptual Drawing and Painting at the University of Fine Arts in Hamburg.
In her work Voigt observes and explores the inner processes of perception in relation to various aspects and subjects such as affects and emotions, imagination, memory, sensory experience, natural and cultural phenomena, scientific data, interpersonal actions, and relationships. Since her early work, Jorinde Voigt has taken an analytical approach, understanding her subjects as dynamic situations whose state of being is in constant change. Within a conceptual approach Jorinde Voigt has been expanding her work beyond the medium of drawing in recent years, including and experimenting with painterly elements, collage, sculpture, design, and music.
