In November 2007 Stefanie Reichelt started ArtCell Gallery which is located in the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Research Institute (CRUK CRI), in the heart of the scientific community of Cambridge. The institute carries
out world-class research to improve our understanding of cancer and find
out how to prevent, diagnose and treat different kinds of cancer.
The exhibitions at ArtCell aim to bring art into the institute for Stefanie's colleagues, patients at Addenbrookes Hospital as well as the general public.

My work is about transformation and a continuous
association and disassociation with a different world.
It requires a state of heightened selfawareness with
subjectivity but at the same time able to play without
knowing what is going to happen. A game of constant
appearance, disappearance and reappearance occurs in
my paintings, with an exploration of inside and outside the
canvas, seeking out colour and forms.
My paintings have developed a concern with linear markings
that intertwine and create webs of activity upon the surface
of the canvas. They aim to create a dialogue between
self-reflective processes and the spontaneous act, as well as
a diversity of movement across and within space; this creates
an overall atmospheric and shallow spatial depth through
which areas of contrasting density, complexity and openness
are allowed to play themselves out.

Sigmund Freud wrote «In mental life nothing which has been formed can perish –
that everything is somehow preserved and that in suitable
circumstances (when, for instance, regression goes back far
enough) it can once more be brought to light.»
Using Freud's premise my aim is to illicit that latent emotional
response to the objects and how they are placed.
