Falter

Excerpt from the press release of "Falter":

Strobel’s exploration of abstract concepts and abstracted models of thought is also visible in her paintings in oil on aluminum, which combine a figurative visual language and a conceptual approach. The exploration and motivic use of the butterfly, which is referenced in the title of the exhibition resulted from a chance encounter with a butterfly in the Bonneville Salt Flats, which she captured in video. In art historical symbolism butterflies signify change but Strobel’s butterfly contradicts this symbolism- it is dead and just an image. In a reduced color palette of black, white and green tones, Strobel shows the insect, the “Falter”, on two levels of meaning: once figurative and once linguistic.
