Description

As a former model, Sylvia Schramm has been personally moved by the #MeToo debate.

In October 2017, The New York Times, among others, reported that dozens of women accused US film producer Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment. The artist knew these situations and has herself experienced more often that “favors” were quite expected in the film and modeling industry.

Schramm interpreted this Street Art-inspired work in “agitated brown tones in expression and perspective on the basis of an award-winning black-and-white photograph by photojournalist Ara Güler (“Porters Waiting for Work,” Istanbul 1954). Instead of resigned workers, it shows actresses and models who have finally gone public.

Technique

Schramms artistic technique is digital painting, which she has developed into something unique with the knowledge gained from painting. The motif is printed onto a metal plate by means of a special, complex process, whereby a Coexistence between substrate and paint is created. The interplay between matt and shine makes the viewer literally feel the material and figurative and characterizes her impressive unique pieces. Symbolically, in order to preserve the ephemeral, this work was “weightily” framed in industrial iron.

Suspension:
Gallery rail + steel cables + metal hook (hang in the frame hook) or: Use dowels.
