Ingrid Weber
Born in Obermaubach, Germany in 1961, Ingrid Weber now resides and works in Düsseldorf and Duren. She got the Meisterschülerin from Jan Dibbets at the Art Academy in Düsseldorf in 1999 and worked as an assistant of Dibbets for several years. Weber received a scholarship from the Ernst Poensgen Foundation and stayed in New York in 2000. She participated in the group show at Meguro Art Museum, Tokyo, "Yellow - Power of the Earth and Light from the Air" in July 2004 and worked under the Open Studio Program at Fuchu Art Museum, Tokyo from October through November 2004.
Ingrid Weber has been consistently creating monochrome paintings constructed with a single color pigment or a limited number of different color pigments. Before she paints, as a preparatory process, she carefully compounds some different colors of pigments. By changing the proportion of each pigment to mix, Weber makes some new color pigments that have slightly different "color-value" from each other. For instance, she makes many different kinds of green color pigments, changing the portion of yellow color pigment or blue color pigment, or changing quantities or types of binding materials. Then she chooses some slightly different color-value pigments and paints them on canvases respectively.
In 2008, Taguchi exhibited 12 works in different tones on the same format of 37 x 37 cm canvas at its former space in Kayabacho, Nihonbashi. It was the first time for the artist to work with so many different colors at the same time, and the experience of working with a variety of colors deepened Weber's understanding of individual colors and their relationship to each other.
At that time, the installation was divided into two rooms due to space considerations, but this time the 12 works will be displayed in one room, and in a circle. The “color circle” is a color theory advocated by J. W. Goethe in the 18th century, and Weber also uses her own original color circle as a criterion for her work, which can be felt through this installation.
This exhibition is also the first of "Re-view", which re-examines the exhibitions and work exhibited in the past 20 years of Taguchi Fine Art.
