Christin Sauer is a self-taught printmaker from Germany and based in Edinburgh. Growing up in the Eastern part of Germany, the Soviet artefacts of brutalism in architecture and sculpture became her main source of inspiration. The sharp and concrete-clad structures so characteristic of this period provide her with a strange sense of warmth and solitude, feelings she seeks to explore throughout her practice. In a similar manner, she counts the Bauhaus movement and the Ecuadorian artist Oswaldo Guayasamín among her influences.
Her prints are intimate fragments of her mind, reflecting on themes of human connection, vulnerability, and the haunting depths of imagination. Using relief printmaking techniques, she creates eerie, sculptural figures and shapes, illustrating the interplay of these forces in our minds.
She began as a painter before joining the NewBridge Project’s early-career programme for artists during her time in Newcastle, where she was introduced to printmaking. It was there that she found her love for the medium and its endless possibilities, with a focus on the expressive nature of linocut.
Christin recently relocated from Newcastle upon Tyne to Edinburgh, and has shown work in group shows and galleries in England, including the NewBridge Project and Gallagher & Turner.
