Old school

Monika Ortmann: installation, painting, objects

open studio

Since the 1970s, my favorite material has been pantyhose, because nylons are an ideal medium for painting and sculpture; they are transparent, extremely stretchable and can be shaped into any form. The large installations are often combined and supplemented with other groups of works or objects (found or conceptually added). The works always combine their aesthetic and conceptual dimension with a conscious, socially relevant attitude, including existential questions.
