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!
