Fiene Scharp’s work operates at the intersection of structure and fragility. Lines transform into networks, grids become space. Her works are meticulously cut from paper with a scalpel, drawn, and assembled into delicate, almost breathing systems. They speak of order and fragility at the same time, exploring the boundaries between drawing, object, and space. In her works, which feature serial structures, two-dimensional surfaces are transformed into seemingly tangible spaces. She uses found paper—old cash books, receipt pads, notebooks, and papers of various colors. These fragments bear the traces of the past; their former function is still recognizable and is reactivated through artistic intervention. Her systematic, serial working method subtly refers to principles that also operate in digital or algorithmic processes—still analog, tangible, and immediately experiential.

Fiene Scharp was born in 1984 in Berlin and studied Fine Arts at the Universität der Künste Berlin with Gregor Schneider and Alicja Kwade, alongside Literature at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Her work has been shown in numerous national and international exhibitions. Scharp’s work is represented in important public collections such as the Kupferstichkabinett of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart, the Museum für Konkrete Kunst Ingolstadt, and the Ritter Collection.
