Marion Rauter

When asked when she began to paint, Marion Rauter replies that she has never not painted. Her point is the examination of what it is to be human. As such, she views her work as a remembrance of our humanity and our genius. Marion Rauter is a narrative virtuoso of photorealism. Only with a brush and a few oil paints does she produce in her reproduced reality the drama of a play. The subjective reality she creates in her portraits is, though two-dimensional, a narrative. Since the portrayed personalities in their representation gain a sensual meta-level (compared to the original photography), their paintings lead far beyond the mere illustration.
