Detailed description
Picture "OUTSIDE THE BOX" (2021)
This scene may seem conventional, a laid table with a soup plate and spoon, but the presence of the tiny man on the edge of the plate breaks with expectations. The sunny atmosphere with lots of play of light on the lush green lawn and ceiling gives the picture a positive aura and leaves room for imagination and reflection.
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).
