Annette Meincke-Nagy's portrait busts are based on examples of Italian portrait sculpture from the early Renaissance . She uses lignin, paper, quartz granulate and glue as the material for her sculptures.
Marko Schacher writes on the occasion of the appointment of Annette Meincke-Nagy as lecturer of the Lichtwark Society of the “Noli me tangere” of the busts, of a “mysterious aura”, an “almost religious spell” that is created by looking through the viewer . This spell turns out to be a continuum of the work of Annette Meincke-Nagy. Because although her art is constantly changing (the big heads take a back seat, busts and full-length figures are becoming more numerous), similarly subtle-poetic sculptures emerged from 2007 onwards. The process of distinction (in the sense of isolation) is complete with Annette Meincke-Nagy's characters today: They are alone, they do not belong to anyone. This innermost part is the “Noli me tangere” spell.
Among her works is a “portrait” of Marilyn Monroe (2009). Meincke-Nagy's “Marilyn” is through and through the antithesis of Andy Warhol's interpretation of the same myth. It is not the serial, the technical, that the icon Marilyn is able to banish, but it is the showing of what is only apparently depleted, the showing of an emptiness that is not one in which the artistic and the human become one, and ultimately in the midst the ban finds its saving refuge. The sculptures by the sculptor Annette Meincke-Nagy are an optimistic art that, through the absence of a smile, reminds us that art calls for reconciliation.
