Picture "The Bathers VII - what about silence?" (2023)
The "Bathers" series depicts self-confident and strong women in bathing suits in Pop Art style. At first glance, the viewer only recognizes the colourfully depicted bathing scene. A snapshot that may give rise to thoughts on themes such as femininity, freedom and the emancipation of women. Only on closer inspection does another socio-critical theme emerge, such as an ecological issue or a reference to a political or social topic of current affairs. The title "what about silence?" refers to the idea of silence in today's often noisy and hectic world, in which people are moving further and further away from nature and silence. Experience shows that finding a place of silence is often very difficult today. I used acrylic paint, graphite, oil pastels and tissue paper for this mixed-media work.
