Works
| “ | My work ranges between painting, etching and drawing. I´m focused on large sized ink drawing and Drawing series. Ink on paper is radical – it forces me to decide quickly and allows me to use vivid expressive lines without the possibility of return.[1] | ” |
| “ | Her luscious watercolors, ink drawings and oil paintings are juicy with pictorial depth and detail while her characters burst and bubble with energy. Yet, despite these surface delights, her content is serious, dark and timely. Theusner’s images recall Goya’s grotesqueries and Otto Dix’s brutally seductive social caricature. Many of her characters wear historical costume, like ghosts staging a play, but she also directs sharp attention towards today’s political and social inequalities. Using wit and beauty, her work highlights contemporary culture’s poisonous absurdity and underlying moments of horror.[2] | ” |
