Hilla Jablonsky (1922-2019) - Abstrakte Komposition

Abstract composition in acrylic paints on canvas from a private collection.
Hilla Jablonsky is counted among the central and recognized artists of German Informel. For her artistic work she received the Dr. Theobald-Simon Art Prize (1989) as well as the prestigious August Macke Medal of the city of Bonn (1999) and other prizes.

Jablonsky's works have been shown in over 50 solo and group exhibitions in Germany and internationally, including Vienna, Berlin, Brussels, Budapest, Seoul, Dublin and St. Petersburg.

Her works are today in public collections as well as in major private collections at home and abroad.

After training with Alexej von Assaulenko, Cameron Hoover, Franz Radziwill and Albert Paris Gütersloh, she has worked as a freelance artist since 1968. She was a co-founder of the Women's Museum Bonn, honorary chairwoman of the artists' association GEDOK Bonn, and served as a juror on numerous art committees.

"Hilla Jablonsky's visual world leaves wide room for the observer's perception. Her compositions stand in the tradition of Informel, which celebrated spontaneous gesture. Often they arise from underlying emotional states. In her unrestrained insistence on subjectivity, Jablonsky turns moments of happiness and merriment, restlessness and fear, anger and sorrow into a battlefield of splashes of color, lines, and graphic scribbles. The astonishing thing: in the end there is an order of harmonious balance." (Marion Leske, art writer)

As a painter, draughtsman, and lyricist, Hilla Jablonsky developed over decades a distinctive, powerful visual language. Her large-format, color-intensive compositions combine gestural dynamism with structural density and are characterized by a high sensitivity to rhythm, surface, and materiality. In addition to acrylic and pastel works, she experimented with collages, unusual materials, and performances.
