Debbie Nodder

South African-born, Freiburg-living artist Debbie Nodder's works in paint inhabit the space «between,» echoing the words of a Tracy Chapman song that resonate deeply with her practice. Her art traces the contours of place - Eswatini, Mozambique, South Africa, Germany - yet always through a lens of abstraction, emotion, and quiet narrative. Rather than mere representation, her landscapes and scenes suggest memory, story, and experience, inviting viewers into a world that is both familiar and elusive. The natural world forms the anchor of Nodder's vision: rocks, trees, and water provide grounding, while light, reflection, and ephemeral phenomena capture her imagination. Her figurative references, such as boats, architectural fragments, cultural symbols, or hints of the human form, suggest habitation and presence without explicit depiction. Layers of past images, traces, and palimpsests recur throughout her work, embodying the ways memory, history, and expectation shape our perception of place. Nodder's art is not posed as a question but as a method of understanding - a reflection on the layered, complex, and often chaotic world. Each work is an exploration of place, presence, and perception, rendered with sensitivity, subtlety, and a keen poetic sensibility.
