plant

In her paintings, Maderthaner interweaves representational and abstract expressionistic elements. Bodies, still lifes and objects or scenes of everyday culture emerge from their pouring of paint and radical painting gestures. Abstraction and representationalism are not mutually exclusive in her art, but complement and support one another in a wide variety of ways. She often uses quotes from the history of painting. Other of her works only supposedly represent art history, but are "reenactments", living historical role-plays of today. Even Caravaggio , Tiepolo or Dutch baroque painter -Zitate be mixed with current imagery and grow from the amorphous color schemes.
