beach_small_05.psd Acrylic on pigment print on canvas 110 x 110 cm 2020 ____ Birgit Sonna @sobridget: ____ Disregarding the fact that it is the painterly aspects which are of prime importance for you, do you not also wish to provoke your audience with certain controversial topics? If male artists still dare to take female nudes as their subject nowadays, it is taboo. You as a woman can do so, of course – and more: you even allow yourself a sexist touch. ___ @janinaroider: ___ It used to be mainly the male painter heroes who portrayed women: one has only to think of the obsessive Picasso. I deliberately wanted to have a nude in the picture – a nude that is also given a somewhat lurid touch. With its garish colours and a certain Copacabana atmosphere the picture borders on kitsch anyway. In our society, after all, it is still axiomatic that “sex sells”! In many advertising media you still often find at least semi-nude women portrayed. A male nudie in the buff, on the other hand, tends to be considered repellent. This is what I am referencing, of course. On the other hand, I have – by painterly means – avoided the woman being too exposed and have used a gestural painting manner to ensure that she disappears somewhat on the surface. The pubic hairs also differ substantially in the picture variants and are intentionally now more strongly, now less strongly marked. ___ Translation Richard Humphrey ___ Make It Newer!

​Preorder now at @kerberverlag ____ The exhibition’s title MAKE IT NEWER! is a reference to Roider’s Academy teacher Günther Förg, whose guiding principle and maxim “make it new” – a dictum borrowed from Ezra Pound, whose work Förg greatly admired – served also as the title of his trail-blazing solo exhibition of 2004, which formed part of the Ruhrfestspiele in Recklinghausen, Germany. Förg’s works – which were to prove seminal for Roider’s understanding of painting – stand apart, outside the painterly discourse of classical modernism. In his view, the painter should abandon his or her solitary and élitist position and the concomitant intellectual mindset framed in the specific period and should no longer have to offer a direct explanation of his or her selfhood and work. ​The original motivational thrust of modern art is always its urge for renewal. In the formal language of Roider’s oeuvre, this impulse invariably leads to a fusing of digital and analogue processes. The basis for each work is a hand-drawing, which is digitalized – with her sculptures, this takes the form of a digital print – and then expanded almost in the mode of the Old Masters through successively “applied” layers. In the next step, the digital drawing is turned into a print (designed for serial reproduction) and so becomes Roider’s canvas and support. written by @sgwendid translated by Richard Humphrey ____ @parat.cc @kerberverlag @eigenart_lab @kastner_ag #buchbinderobermeier _____ #janinaroider #art #artist #makeitnewer #exhibition #booklaunch #artistbook #monography #gallery #studio #artcollector #contemporaryart ​Preorder now at @kerberverlag ____ The exhibition’s title MAKE IT NEWER! is a reference to Roider’s Academy teacher Günther Förg, whose guiding principle and maxim “make it new” – a dictum borrowed from Ezra Pound, whose work Förg greatly admired – served also as the title of his trail-blazing solo exhibition of 2004, which formed part of the Ruhrfestspiele in Recklinghausen, Germany.
