Grilled pieces of fish, crowds of people and withered flowers mount up, forming a landscape. Fragments most naturally emerge from the blurring, though being part of a profound allover texture. Polar bears swim and rear up in a collage of water. Men and animals hide behind walls and in the thicket. All is set in motion, swirling up in a painterly manner to plant-like formations and architectural elements, while every confusing part seems to fit in perfectly and enfolds an astonishing spatial depth.

Sabine Hertig has been using all media of information most efficiently ever since. In her second solo exhibition at STAMPA gallery she continues her landscape series and presents latest artworks. Having broadened her image sources, from newspapers and magazines to the internet, her latest collages show an increasing use of imagery found in books on cooking and animals.
