German-born, Mariele Neudecker (b1965) lives and works in Bristol. She is best known for her vitrines containing landscapes of forests, lakes or mountains together with simulated weather effects. These often evoke other pictures or artists. Also using sculpture, film and photography, Neudecker creates a playful frisson between historical representations of the Sublime landscape and our perception, imagination and memory of experience. This exhibition, first shown at Tate St Ives, presents her work in the context of JMW Turner and explores her interrogation of the cultural phenomenon of Romanticism and its elevation of nature and landscape into vehicles for emotional transcendence, philosophical contemplation and cultural identity.
