Detailed description
Picture "FEMINISM 2" (2022)
The lively portrait of a young woman laughing heartily exudes an atmosphere of joy and self-confidence. She takes a seat in a yellow armchair, her miniskirt and cigar emphasizing her air of independence. A beam of light directed at the woman draws the viewer's attention. The traditional painting in the background appears as a contrast to the woman's modern presence.
About Birgit Horn
Birgit Horn is an internationally exhibiting artist from near Hamburg.
As a freelance artist, she addresses issues in her realistic oil paintings, which she illuminates from different perspectives in her series of pictures. Her paintings are the result of her thoughts and feelings about the current social situation. Questions such as "What can we do differently as human beings?", "What can we change as a community?" and "How do we deal with our world?" are at the heart of her artistic exploration.
Before creating each painting, she develops scenes, often with symbolic motifs, which serve as the basis for her oil paintings. The motifs manifest themselves on the canvas in a realistic and detailed manner. She uses surrealistic elements in her art, consciously employs contrasts and color breaks, integrates screen printing elements and manipulates proportions to capture the viewer's attention. In her own words, she explains: "I want to reach people with my brushstrokes and contribute to reflection on the world around us."
Her art has been shown nationally and internationally, including in the USA (Miami, New York), South Korea (Geoje), Poland (Wagrowiec) and Germany (Wiesbaden, Cologne, Hamburg, Lüneburg, Dortmund, Stuttgart).
