Lives and works in Darmstadt
Elke Emmy Laubner is a painter and photographer who lives and works in Germany.
After her academic training in painting, she pursued cross-media image creation. Photographs and screenshots are translated into paintings. They are media-generated image inventions that are translated into analogue paintings. Several image levels overlap on the canvas. Media memory images are created in a kind of postmodern sampling. Partly transparent, partly opaque, dissolving or merging into one another, they melt into new images, which are executed using the classic technique of oil paints on canvas. Unnerving, sometimes surreal new image spaces emerge that challenge our viewing habits in the digital age.
Overall, it is a kind of back translation of media-generated image inventions - painting as a post-digital artifact. Laubner is a member of the Darmstadt Secession.
Her work is presented in numerous exhibitions and art fairs and placed in private collections.
