2004

Lineage: Solo Exhibition: 2004/05

On a journey of discovery, the artist researched her own family, concentrating on the 19th century Berlin portrait painters Sabine and Reinhold Lepsius whose portraits are represented in the National Gallery Berlin. Referencing the ancestry of painting in art history, Bechert places the traditional genre of portraiture in a contemporary framework through appropriations of Lepsius Paintings and photographs. The layout of the exhibition separated three rooms, starting with a room of charcoal drawings titled 'tradition'. The next room combines techniques ('painting meets drawing').The exhibition ended with a monochrome room titled 'very now', which is a sort of conclusion of the layout as a timeline of techniques. The installation in the last room was based on the idea of a family tree which references more recent approaches in art while picking up the imagery from previous rooms of the show.
