Sigrid Vollerthun – Statement

Sigrid Vollerthun – Bio

 
 
Nature is the subject of many of Ms. Vollerthun’s photographs; however, digital fantasies, abstract imagery and dreamscapes are a major part of her repertoire.

Sigrid is a self-taught photographer, who is the recipient of several prestigious photographic awards including a coveted winner’s trophy in the International Photography Contest of NATURE’S BEST Photography Magazine in 2003 and 1998. She has participated in many juried exhibitions. In 2004, her photographs were featured in the documentary series entitled “Photographers of Northern Virginia” produced by Channel 10, Public Access Television.

Ms. Vollerthun’s photographs have gained the attention of art critics. In May, 1999, Nancy Ungar of the Gazette Entertainment wrote, “For Sigrid Vollerthun color itself is the subject. Vollerthun pulls her camera in so tightly on an iris that the identification of the object as a flower is almost lost and the iris becomes a color abstraction.”

In July, 2003, Claudia Rousseau of the Gazette Entertainment wrote, “…In her triptych, “Bird of Paradise”, the echo of the jewel-like colors of the tropical flower and its natural habitat are expressed in overlapping elongated forms. Flame-like, they almost appear to be swaying. The very large “Santa Fe Mood” recalls Georgia O’Keefe’s New Mexico landscapes without imitating them. In “Red Calla Fantasy” and “Calla Meditation”, Vollerthun analyses the lily’s forms simultaneously graphic and organic abstractions.”
