Sequence 1 to 5

The artwork of Monika Kropshofer is the art of a dialogue: photography and painting, precision and delimitation are interweaved in ambigious compositions, which produce a subversiveness of the real. The artist operates with the mysterious antagonism expansive colour and restrictive structure. Her aesthetical strategy targets at density, tenseness and consiseness. Sensible photographic observation and aimed colour elements are characteristics of her artistic creativeness. The conceptionally planned, but through intuitive decisions defined artwork refers to a high extent of reflection.
