The topics range from landscape, floral or animal motifs to figurative and portrait painting, but always combined with the endeavour to dissolve objectivity into abstraction, color space and color tone.

Landscape suddenly turns into a volcanic eruption, a hurricane, a flood, a cloud fog or spherical ether.

Lonely “table dancers” look like the last painterly snapshots before the dancers disappear into the color space.

The large-format diptych “Battle” (220 x 320 cm), inspired by a Rubens drawing, captures the furor of the horses and riders delivered to the battlefield, especially through the only sketchy figures.

Fug itivity is a predominant characteristic of Andrea Lehnert’s pictures. Experienced things dissolve into imagination. Regardless of the motif, Andrea Lehnert’s painting approaches the nuances and spaces, the unfathomable and the unrepresentable.
