plant

Tuma's early works are determined by the line and contain architectural elements with environmentally critical aspects. They deal with greenhouses, theaters, dams and hulls. Landscape aspects are added later, greenhouse plants, seedlings or clods of earth that are covered by grids. A typical work of those years is the painting "Landscape Piece" from 1971, acrylic on canvas, 72 × 58 cm. Gouaches and graphics have titles such as “Landscape piece with seedlings” (1971), “Wohnkubus” (1971) or “Landscape cover” (1972). Tuma was one of the protagonists of a New Landscape with artists such as Werner Nöfer , Hermann Waldenburg and Jens Lausen . His graphics were published by the editions Apex in Göttingen, Klaus Lüpke in Frankfurt am Main or Schöner Wohnen in Hamburg.

In recent years Tuma has assembled new series of pictures under the title "Pathetic Still Life". The works balance between abstraction and figuration and draw inspiration from various stays by the artist in Japan, such as the work “Nippon Wall” from 2003. Tuma processes banal motifs such as bonsai trees, cherry blossoms, bamboo, manga or the Sony logo into a kind Japan pop. The artist mixes his repertoire of set pieces from this Japan-Pop world and mainly uses methods that come from the field of mass culture, for example stenciling, negating, different coloring or adding text.
