Interview with artist Ruth Lieberherr, by Kyle Russell,
about exhibit at Portal Crystal Gallery
ABOUT THE SHOW
Portal Crystal Gallery is proud to present the work of artist Ruth Lieberherr. She has made available a selection of her vibrant acrylic paintings which engage the viewers and invite them to explore their own imaginations. Please read her Artist Statement below, and plan to join us between 3 and 5pm on the afternoon of Saturday, May 12th, 2018. The show runs until August 22.
ARTIST STATEMENT
Remembered landscapes, people, feelings, find a new, dream-like reality in my work. I start either with developing images out of color on canvas, without a premeditated concept, or doodling on paper and transforming the doodles into grisaille (gray scale) underpaintings. Adding many washes of transparent paint, images emerge from a deeper level of consciousness, evolving into archetypes. From the fluid feeling of paint on canvas or on paper, I go where the inspiration of the colors leads me. Influenced by the ideas of the Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner, I explore the character and expressions of the different colors.
The artwork grows out of the act of painting in a metamorphosis of form and color through its various layers. Most often I don’t like to keep the images abstract, but human figures, animals, images from nature start to emerge. My life experiences and preferences sneak into my paintings along with the archetypal images. Whimsical figures, faces, real and fantasy creatures inhabit my artwork. From growing up in Switzerland to dancing with my liturgical dance group “Skyloom”, from reading fairy tales to walking among elephants in Ghana, from the mundane to the exotic and spiritual, my experiences find new expression in my “Dreamscape” paintings. They invite the viewers to explore and expand their own imagination .
I have also illustrated several picture books: Winter, Awake!, written by Linda Kroll, Journey to Inner Space, written by Deborah Cohen, The Knottles, written by Nancy Mellon, Hafez, The Mathematical Stonecutter, written by Michael Punzak, and just last year: By Some Great Spell, written by Mary Beth Melton.

Endangered: Society, Environment, Our Future
After the turmoil and disappointment of the election, I felt the necessity to create a very different exhibit than I had originally planned for April/May 2017 at the Cutter Gallery in Arlington.
Offended by the candidate/president’s blunt sexism, racism and misogyny and his supporters’ tolerance and acceptance of it, I began a painting celebrating the feminine. More paintings were inspired by unexpected discussions about politics with my grandchildren (in Kindergarten and first grade) who had overheard talk about the candidates in school. After a discussion about honesty and dignity, I told them that this was a very special election as this was the first time the U.S. had a woman as a candidate for president. My 5 ½ year old granddaughter responded with her favorite question: “Why?”
Concerned not only about global warming, but also about how we treat our environment, I created work pointing to the pollution of our earth, our air and our water. For example as an avid open water swimmer, I love water, rivers, lakes, the ocean. So I created artwork from recycled material - bubble wrap, plastic bags, cloth, string which I found in my household - referencing the huge amount of waste floating its way to the gyres of our oceans. Representing the future I painted life size full figure portraits of the two of my grandchildren which had started the discussion about politics. May we take care of our society and the world we live in for the sake of our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
The public is cordially invited to an opening reception on Saturday, April 8th, from 3 to 5 pm. Music will be played by Andrea Lieberherr Douglass and Panayota Haloulakou.

Ruth Lieberherr featured as artist of the week December 21, 2016 in Cambridge Art Association's Blog:
http://www.cambridgeart.org/caa-blog/ Interview below: Artist of the Week: Ruth Lieberherr What are your earliest memories of being artistic? I always loved to paint, draw, and sketch, to cut, glue and make things, as early as I was able as a small child. When did art become a pursuit? I am Swiss and I studied German Literature and Art History at the University of Zurich, but during semester breaks I would always travel and paint. When I moved to the US in 1977, at the suggestion of a friend I wrote and illustrated a picture book that was eventually published in Switzerland. That was my first step in pursuing art seriously. In 1980 I entered my first juried show in Princeton, New Jersey. I was thrilled to be accepted! Shortly after that I was offered to have my first solo show, at Princeton University in 1981 and another solo exhibit in 1982 at Educational Testing Service in Princeton. For both shows people came to my house, packed my paintings and hung my art work. I had no idea that this was a wonderful exception – and that I would pack and transport and often hang my paintings myself for years to come. Are you self-taught or formally educated in visual art? I don’t have a degree in fine arts, but I had intensive training in visual art in high school (Gymnasium) and I took courses at the art academy in Zurich while I was studying at the university (and I have continued to take courses in fine arts since then in the different places I have lived). How did you first become involved with CAA? I moved to the Boston area in summer 1983 and I joined the CAA when I found out about it in 1984. In what other ways are you involved in the local art community? I am a member of the Winchester Artists Network and I am exhibiting in their group shows and other events and also in other local venues, like Art in Bloom or Gift of Art at the Next Door Theater in Winchester. I used to be a member of many more local art associations when I first came to Boston, from the Copley Society to Boston Visual Artists Union to Arlington, Winchester and Concord Art Association to name a few. I also used to teach watercolor and acrylic painting classes locally. What medium do you currently work in and how did you choose this medium? I am painting currently in acrylics and I am also working on paper for several picture book projects (pencil, colored pencil, oil pastel, watercolor, and mixed media). One of the picture book projects is about my father (who was a “Verdingbub”, a kind of indentured child laborer in Switzerland). In a past small group show at CAA in November 2014 (Motion Envisioned) I showed a large mobile with silk panels and also mixed media work dealing with that same subject. I showed that mobile as well as portraits and videos about the same theme a year later, in November 2015, at a one day solo event at the Next Door Theater in Winchester. What is your creative process? In my acrylic dreamscape paintings I try to access images from deeper level of consciousness, starting without a preconceived concept (experimenting with color - or doodling and then transferring the doodles to a grisaille underpainting). If I am illustrating a story or working on the projects about my father’s life, the process is very different as a clear subject is given. For the picture books I am translating the story line into sequences of images and then start sketching. Recently, I have also been interested in video – creating paintings with a tiny video inside or objects/installations with video. I am also a dancer, yoga teacher and swimmer. Often movement, people moving, people swimming occur in my art work. I love water and nature. For more than a year I obsessively videotaped water (the ocean, lakes, rivers, streams, brooks, waterfalls, rain, puddles, flooding etc. for hours and hours of video, which I finally edited down to a 30 minute video). In your opinion, what’s your best/favorite piece you’ve made? Often my most recent piece is my favorite piece, if all is going well – but of course sometimes I have a hard time with what I am working on. And then I move on to my next favorite piece. My appreciation of my own work changes with hind sight. Some work I still like, others I don’t. Even though I am in general not working in a realistic way any more, I still love some of the portraits I did of my family, as well as some of my early realistic paintings. I will include in my samples an old portrait of my daughter as a child (now a mother herself) and one of my early realistic paintings, Shell IX, which won several awards. I will also include two of my newer dreamscape paintings as well as the mobile about my father and the cover of one of my picture books. What is one of your artistic goals for 2016? I hope to find a publisher for the picture book about my father, finish the illustrations for another picture book that I am working on (story by another writer) and creating new work for two upcoming solo shows in 2017. What living artists are you inspired by? I love art by many artists, living or dead. I love the color, composition, design, drawing, sculpting – and of course recently I have been fascinated by installations and videos (e.g. last week I saw “The Clock” by Swiss American artist Christian Marclay at the MFA; or a funny video by Fischli Weiss which I have seen both in Switzerland and more recently at the ICA, “Der Lauf der Dinge” – “The Way Things Go”.) Do you own any art by other artists? Yes, a few – but my husband keeps reminding me that we have long run out of space! Do you have any shows coming up?

About the event: "The Boy without a name and much more ..."
I have been researching the life of my father who was taken from his single mother and placed as an indentured child laborer with a farmer in Switzerland. The resulting mobile of photographs of my father's life on large silk panels, as well as paintings will be shown in a one day event at the Next Door Theater in Winchester on Sunday, November 15th, from 2 to 5 pm.
Besides working as a visual artist, I am a yoga teacher and dancer. Combining my interests in visual art and movement, I began to explore video and video installations, which will be showcased at the event as well.
In conjunction with the exploration of my father's heartbreaking childhood experience, the award winning feature length film by Swiss director Markus Imboden “The Foster Boy” (“Der Verdingbub”, Swiss German with English subtitles, adult content) will be shown at Next Door Theater the same evening.

“It is not because we live in the same town, have known each other for many years, see each other often, that we came together to propose a Small Group Show to the Cambridge Art Association. However because of the above we discovered that we are all interested in the expression of movement through different art media. In our own way we are each concerned with the same artistic challenge.
Movement in art, as in life, represents directional growth and personal development into new things. Movement is an integral part of our art making and we are all striving to explore, through the use of a multitude of visual and physical elements, all of its possible implied revelations. It can be seen in Liebeherr’s flowing shapes paintings as well as the inserted digital videos; it can be seen in Hesse’s gossamer silk photo prints and Grayson’s compositions that use lyrical fonts as current favorite visual elements.
As we all strive to give our personal expressions of how we respond to visual movements, we also know that these pieces are but visual images temporarily frozen into place and time and more derivations will certainly follow.”
Ruth will show and sell her picture books, art cards and prints at the Winchester Farmers Market on the Town Common on Saturday, September 20, 2014, 9:30 am - 1:30 pm. She will also do a demo: 11:30 am - 12 noon.
