Judith Grote

Judith Grote studied graphic design at the Academy 5 in Munich. She worked as an assistant to Niki de Saint Phalle and according to her there is still some influence in her artwork.

She lives in Munich, but exhibits have been held in Italy, France, Spain and Germany.

Her international breakthrough was initiated by her exhibitions in combination with high end labels (e.g. Porsche and Vanity Fair) in 2007.

Judith Grote gets inspired by exotic, but also unspectacular nature- phenomena, which are getting reflected in all facets, as well as by the persuasive style of artistic role models, self-confidentially chosen by her. She acquires from an opulence of materials, a variety of genres and a broad spectrum of opportunities. Supposedly she waives on messages in her color intensive world. However you can find statements in her plastics, which are exemplarily for her world outlook.
