NEWS & EVENTS
BAG GALLERY SHOWS
June 13 - 19 Mit Meinem Wilden Hertzen/With My Wild Heart
Cordula Volkening Solo Show
Opening Reception June 14, 4-8pm |

Cordula Volkening has been working as an artist and designer for 35 years. "In Meinem Wilden Herzen" is her second show at BAG. It is named for a Rilke poem and roughly translates from German as "in my wildest/bravest heart."
Cordula was diagnosed with advanced brain cancer last September. She has undergone two rounds of brain surgery and is currently in an experimental clinical trial. The tumor has impaired her ability to speak, but as her friend photographer Stefan Falke says, the effects of the cancer and the treatments have "not kept her from continuously creating great art."

ARTIST STATEMENT
My passion for art began at a very young age with a healthy exposure to
all the great artists throughout history through frequent visits to the
museums and galleries. As a result of my exposure, I began to work with
oils at age thirteen with a focus towards landscapes. As my love for the
medium grew, I found that painting in larger scales allowed me to truly
utilize my energy toward my work. While studying at New York University
with a focus in studio art, I began to take my work to a more
non-subjective level as my focus changed from the subject matter to the
actual medium itself which has been the theme of my art ever since. Since
then, in addition to oil and acrylic, I use several other materials and
surfaces at my disposal. more...
