Melanie Theoni

To stand in pairs of opposites, to endure them and to work in them are the main moments of my works. 

Classic Tyrolean tradition - meets modern characters, interpretation, a current, questioning zeitgeist. 

Apparently "natural" and calm colors are discarded in order to create space for intense, provocative color complexes that place the picture as a whole in a field of tension. 

The historical template is torn from a romanticized context and its problems are made accessible to the observer - the "ideal world" breaks into a conglomerate of colors and lets us question the historicity and tradition and gender roles from a new, critical perspective. 

The works ask for a renewed statement from the viewer: Which traditions are still in our memories today – which haunt us, haunt our heads? 

Is this spook well-meaning or not? 

Where can you find the Tyrolean tradition today? 

What is tradition today? 

What role does the woman play? 

How are gender roles defined?
