Artist Statement

The questioning of the present calls for visions for the
shaping of tomorrow.
Visualized in concise statements and word fragments,
Tanja Oppel’s work invites the viewer to open up their
personal scope of interpretation.
Whether produced by hand as prints in small editions
or staged in the interplay of material and idea in largeformat
works: it revolves — sometimes seriously, sometimes
tongue-in-cheek — around utopias and the future,
lifestyle and all the impositions and outlandishness of
our time.
The individual and society are the central theme —
»Question the present and shape tomorrow!« is the
message.
