Juliane Hundertmark is a German artist born in 1971 who lives and works in Berlin, Germany. She is considered one of Berlin's most original and inventive emerging painters. Juliane Hundertmark communicates everyday truths as she experiences them, unmasking pretentious and formalities. She paints her characters in staged groups, without deception or glamour, her distinctive style uses unusual visual metaphors to convey these observations. Animal mimicry is used to describe both aggressive and gentle behaviour, while eerie transparent spirits represent a character's subconscious personality or spirit, and often appear beside their owners. Whilst yielding many interpretations, Hundertmark's work is primarily concerned with psychoanalysis. And as a keen observer, Hundertmark has developed a distinctive style of satire. She might be compared with German painters such as George Grosz and Otto Dix, however her paintings are executed in a very personal style of expressionism, which seems to embody the social conditions of our current times. She studied at Design and Stage Design at Bayreuth and has a Masters in Fine Arts from the Academy of Fine Art of Nuremberg.
