Lüning examines the genre boundaries of painting within her works, using different materials and unfamiliar media. Through their work and the resulting results, the process of creating a painting or a sculpture becomes visible. Lüning's works are process-oriented and move between total control during an experiment setup and absolute surrender to the initiated process itself. She experiments with colored foam, soap bubbles and blocks of ice, examines bodies of water for their shaping peculiarities and leaves a significant role to chance in the artistic process. In her, often temporary, works of art, colored blocks of ice melt over absorbing paper or colored foam swells over entire parking decks, leaving behind ephemeral color sculptures.
Individual groups of works in her paintings are based on photographs that she either took on site, true-color photos of original paintings or on countless photographic motifs from the Internet. Through the process of creating her paintings, these photos are abstracted and transformed.
With the invitation to the first European Children's Biennale - a cooperation between the National Gallery Singapore and the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden - Lüning developed the concept of the interactive COLLECTIVITY PAINTINGS. In this group of works, the artist deals with the deliberate transfer of control to the painting process itself, by asking visitors to the children's biennial to actively intervene in the creation process of the paintings and to make artistic decisions on their own.
