Sibylle Wagner
Sibylle Wagner is a painter and performance and installation artist. In 1981, she settled in Karlsruhe, where she worked as a freelance artist and founded the city’s first cooperative gallery. She also founded an atelier community in Ettlingen, where she worked until 1986. The following year, she married painter Lothar Quinte, with whom she spent each winter living and working in India from 1985 to 1994. Her work examines light and transparency using different materials. In recent decades, she has created numerous “light paintings” using acrylic glass and x-rays, as well as bronze works and art installations. She currently lives and works in Berlin, Germany, and Wintzenbach, France.
