reception

The "Magazine for Art and Life" Monopol wrote in 2009:

"Andrea Lehmann designs gloomy interiors as phantasmagorically charged scenes of the modern urge to explore and awakens her protagonists to a life in which everything is painted."

Johanna Tewes noted in 2010:

“Andrea Lehmann is a contemporary painter whose dynamic works of art show furious parallel worlds. She uses set pieces from historical, mythological and trivial as well as popular cultural and everyday aesthetic reference systems in order to allow painterly tradition to meet hyperrealism and neo-romanticism to manga in tense scenes. Fairytale forest women become beautiful corpses, gloomy scenes of Gothic horror mix with colorful consumer landscapes to create modern chambers of curiosities. This is where the artist's good and bad alter egos appear. Sometimes in lace robes, sometimes in high heels, they dedicate themselves to all facets of life. Andrea Lehmann's visual worlds represent a real treasure trove for the areas of interest of adolescents and also initiate aesthetic experiences. They invite you to research the repertoire of art and cultural history, provoke resistance and gaps for practical approaches and wild thinking and thus offer multi-layered starting points for a multi-perspective thematization in art lessons. Johanna Tewes uses the artist's paintings as crazy sources of inspiration, with the aid of which mythological, mass cultural and gender stereotypical role models and phenomena in art classes can be discovered, researched and renegotiated. In concrete practical suggestions, diverse aesthetic approaches and design techniques are presented, which round off and deepen the respective subject areas as pragmatic opportunities for discussion.
