Monika Kropshofer (* in Neuwied, 14th November 1952 ); is a German painter und photographer. Since the middle of the years since 2000, Kropshofer has gained renown through her large-format painted landscape and architecture photographs which were created as a result of her many work journeys and stays in Europe, Africa und Asia.

Life and Work[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

From 1972 to 1977, Monika Kropshofer studied first Law at the Johannes Gutenberg-University in Mainz. After her two years as an articled clerk in Mainz, she worked as a lawyer from 1980, first in Mainz, then in Coblence, and took her doctorate in 1982. In 1983, Kropshofer opened her own Lawyer's Office and was active as a court lawyer at the Coblence High Court. She terminated this activity in 1990 to study the Historý of Art at the Rhine Friedrich Wilhelms University in Bonn. At the same time, she worked as a freelance artist, finishing her studies in 1995.[1]

Kropshofer began her autodidactic artistic training by experimenting with various picture material and bases. From the beginning, she turned her main attention to the combination of various media, especially photography and painting. Kropshofer projects landscape and architecture photographs [2] ) onto the most varied kinds of bases (glass, sheets of plastic, photographic paper, window blinds, plastic foils) and subsequently works on them with paint.[3][4][5] Here, Kropshofer does without any additional digital picture processing.[6] The photographs are taken during the artist's regular working trips and stays in Europe, Africa and South-East Asia.[7][8] Since the mid-2000's, the works have become larger in format and more far-reaching and from now on, extensive installations [9] and objects were also created.

Kropshofer's artistic discussion always turns around the formal dialogue between the object depicted and the media used. [10] Her method for doing this is the construction and deconstruction of spatiality, depending on each picture basis and the revelation of the appropriateness of the structures in landscape and architecture with the help of painting. Thus her works are in the tradition of photography's very own discourse, the question of reproduction and reality, fiction and real life. [11][12][13][14]

The artist lives and works in Boppard.[15]
