“This is a fundamental principle of Magdalena Cichon’s creative method: she offers neither herself nor the viewer any definitive formulations. New constellations between color, form and structure are constantly emerging. As viewers, we quickly become aware that we have no claim to certain recognition or a clear interpretation. Her strategy is based on the potential of what arises by chance and her planned interventions, her artistic responses to these guidelines. It is the tension between chance and intention from which her pictures derive their power.”
(Angelika Steinmetz-Oppelland, art historian)
