Maria Maier takes up the concept of “additiver Prozess der Baugeschichte“2 in the Gothic, Baroque, Renaissance, Art Nouveau and the Wilhelmine periods, which in a sense corresponds to the stages of her artistic creativity: She “adds” the art of photography to that of painting. Her 6 part series “G-additiv,” illustrates this approach where photographic effects are fused with elements of painting. Both elements are reflected in a linear representation. The artist takes pictures of unremarkable motifs such as decayed facades, construction sites, roofs, windows or stairs and combines them in a style of painting that is at times large-scale and forceful, and sensitive at other times. Thus she artistically creates the effect of density that the city has conveyed to her on many an occasion.
