Description

Fashion is hardly imaginable without photography. Photo shoots in which a perfect staging lifts the image of the fashion label, whether couture or mass-produced, is a huge industry.
In this work, the artist is interested in transforming the depicted as such from a photo into a “painting”, moving the subject away from the figurative to an abstract play of colors. Painterly elements mix with graphic dots and lines and are partially doused with synthetic resin. As a result, these surfaces begin to glow metallically and become plastic. The viewer recognizes only from a distance a silhouette that shows the fashion designer and photographer Karl Lagerfeld.

Technique

Schramm’s artistic technique is digital painting, which she has developed into something unique with knowledge from painting. The motif is printed by means of special, elaborate processes on a shiny metal plate creating a coexistence between the substrate and the paint. Partially applied synthetic resin. This work was framed “weighty” in industrial iron.

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