Regine Schumann studied fine art at the Braunschweig University of Art from 1982 to 1989. In 1989, she was recognized as a master student of Roland Dörfler. From 1986 to 1994 she was a member of the artist group Freiraum, consisting of Frank Fuhrmann, Dieter Hinz and herself. In addition to numerous scholarships (including a DAAD scholarship for Italy in 1990 and a scholarship from the state of NRW for Japan in 2000) and commissions for art in public spaces, she was awarded the Leo Breuer Prize in 2006. Regine Schumann lives and works as a freelance artist in Cologne.
In her works, Regine Schumann focuses on light effects created by fluorescent materials. Among other things, she uses colored poly-light cords and differently colored acrylic glass panes, which she assembles into colored bodies in accordance with Goethe's theory of color. Black light is used here as a varying medium. The focus of her spatial installations is the expansion of existing architecture to include a dimension of vibration and - as she calls it - the creation of “spatial temperatures”: “The inclusion of sculptural principles such as hanging, laying, arranging, stretching and wrapping is characteristic of Regine Schumann's work and translates thinking in terms of colors and color spaces into a spatially tangible plasticity.”

Regine Schumann describes her working method as follows: “The material of the colored and fluorescent acrylic glass plays an important role here. The material I use glows as soon as it is supplied with light energy, be it in the form of natural daylight or artificial light. Depending on the location, the differently colored panels result in a transillumination, layering, mixing and selection.” It is these difficult-to-name, constantly changing effects of light that she addresses in her installations and works.
