Ju Schnee

In her work, Ju Schnee plays with the surfaces and superficialities of the digitally transformed world. She works multi-medially and lets reality merge with the virtual world by bringing digital objects into the physical world - and vice versa.

The repertoire of forms that predominates in Ju Schnee's canvases and sculptures takes the viewer into a seemingly virtual world composed of a multitude of forms, materialities, and colors.

Elisa Klinkenberg

Elisa Klinkenberg shows in current surface her new series of works "MAKE IT YOUR OWN COURT", which spans a bridge between her two lives: Klinkenberg's past as a professional tennis player on the one hand and her current reality as an artist on the other.

Klinkenberg transforms her container into a walk-in center court: court lines on the floor, flying tennis balls in the air, and painted nets on the wall. She thereby transforms it into her very own court and in the works deals with the question: what does it mean and how does one succeed in both temporarily using situations, places, and spaces for oneself and making them "one's own court"?

Annique Delphine

Annique Delphine is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores feminism, sexuality, female identity, and, along with it, the meaning of (female) self-image in social media. Her works provoke and question social norms as well as traditional symbols of femininity in photography, painting, film, and installation.

Central elements in her work include small round silicone breasts, which appear repeatedly in her photographic works or become installation pieces such as the "Boobchair". They seem to confront society directly with its rigid concept of femininity and the constant eroticization of female bodies - among other things on social media. "Reclaim the Feminine" is the motto that accompanies her in her works.

Janine Kuehn

Janine Kuehn's art plays with reality and perception, it deals with the relationship between man and his environment. Between art and portrait photography, digital and analog techniques and artificial intelligence, her works allow different ways of looking to flow together. In an experimental work process, Kuehn translates analog and digital techniques into each other. Make-up, styling and setting, painting, collage and digital image processing result in ever new hybrid effects in collaboration with artificial intelligence.

In her most recent series, Kuehn questions the unambiguousness of the surface. With the help of synthographic processes, she creates female figures, which she subsequently recontextualizes and reshapes. Through digital painting, she creates new contexts, forms, and color accents. In the process, hybrid worlds of figures emerge that take up the pop aesthetics of the 1980s, and which always make one wonder which of the many surfaces is actually to be trusted.

The motifs of "Female Studies" seem to dissolve - their boundaries blur, only to eventually take on other forms and temporarily reveal themselves as new individuals. The portraits of the "Lipstick Studies" allow an intimate level to shimmer through behind the facade of digital makeup, where the figures rest within themselves for a moment.
