My father, on his 60th birthday in July 1986, actually sat for a professional photo portrait. That photo is in my possession.

My father, on his 60th birthday in July 1986, actually sat for a professional photo portrait. That photo is in my possession. It inspired me for this study, which is actually a playful deconstruction. At first glance it seems that - only - two persons are involved in this artwork: My father, as the model, and I as the artist painting his portrait. Now, by putting myself behind a virtual veil, I now got four actors involved: My father, the model; the (unknown) photographer; myself-I as the observer of the scene (who notes how the photographer makes careful arrangements for the right setting and lighting); and myself-II as the artist, who is painting the scene (not a portrait...).

Susanne Cäcilie Walther is a master-class student of the Chinese-German artist Qi Yang who lives in Düsseldorf and works in his nearby studio in Leverkusen at the historical Reuschenberg Mill, at the same time having a base in Shanghai. Walther’s artwork centers on persons: Persons from real life, but also from (day-) dreams. Central projects are inspired by personal relationships such as family and friends. This said, friendship, love, suffering and dying - all fundamental aspects of human existence - are recurring themes in Walthers artworks. No surprise, therefore, that actual political developments, such as war, enter her art world. In addition, Walther oftentimes portrays figures, in a style she calls "heads". And as a devotee of the famous British artist Francis Bacon (1909-1992), a considerable part of her artwork is inspired by Bacon's "Screaming Pope" theme, and beyond. Given all these emotionally laden subjects,  Walther oftentimes needs a retreat to find quietude again and new energy. Thus, she regularly dives into the meditative artwork of chinese ink painting, both classical and free styles, forms of art she particularly owes to her mentor Qi Yang.

Walther’s artworks leap at the viewer on a direct, almost instinctive basis. Her approach is experimental and playful, which the casual observer may take as wonky, amateurish or fragmentary. It is of course Susanne Cäcilie’s handwriting, her work being all about truthfulness and authenticity, as she defies whatever expectations there might be on aesthetics. This said, Walther is recognized for creating figures who in all their wonkiness come across full of soul, power and humaneness that allow them to uphold their dignity.

Susanne Cäcilie Walther masters a broad repertoire of techniques. She works on canvas and papers, oftentimes with spatulas. Her media are oil and acrylics, water color and ink, as well as self-made tempera and casein. In her drawings the prefers graphites, charcoal and pastels. Susanne Cäcilie also likes to experiment with monotypes, as well as Japanese woodcut.
