Recently back from rail trip through Vienna, Prague and Berlin. In Vienna met artist Ute Rakob, trained in the Viennese School and is a serious artist. Her work turns thrown away material into icons of great power and beauty. Here she is in her studio with a painting of her manikin. Each painting can take many months to paint. They have a profound, meditative, timeless quality and the transformation and closely observed surfaces of textiles and metal I found very enriching.
