Works by Jutta Rika Bressem
Jutta Rika Bressem is a German contemporary abstract painter who constructs her works out of a mixture of mastery and intuition. Though allowing her momentary instincts and feelings to guide the evolution of her process, the intense color relationships and harmonious structures still emerge, revealing a mature artist with a strong command over her medium. She works in mixed media, including acrylic, oil, pastel, and charcoal. Relinquishing a part of the control, she allows room for a chance to intervene, following the footsteps of her art historical influences, such as the American Abstract Expressionist Joan Mitchell, and the German Abstract Expressionist Emil Schumacher. Bressem earned her degree in painting and communication from the Academy of Art and Design in Wiesbaden, Germany. Her work has been exhibited both in Germany and internationally.
