Gabriele Langendorf (b. 1961, Rheinfelden, Germany) studied painting at the School of Art and Design in Basel and at the State College of Fine Arts in Frankfurt. The central motifs in her paintings are interior and exterior spaces, and things from everyday life. Through her obsessive gaze, she transforms ordinary objects into something experienceable, changing not only the object, but affecting the viewer as well. She is a professor of painting and drawing at the Hochschule der Bildenden Künste Saar in Saarbrücken. Recent presentations of her work include Mit Verkohltem wollte ich Deinen Schatten halten (2018), Kunstverein Hechingen, Stuttgart, and the solo exhibition Of Socks and Soaps (2016), Saarland Gallery, Berlin.
