Between pop culture, Disney fantasies, and social criticism
The paintings, drawings, and installations by Zohar Fraiman address central questions regarding modern role models. In her vibrant works, the artist processes contemporary phenomena of the modern female experience.
Fraiman utilizes a multitude of references from art history, current pop culture, as well as well-known series and Hollywood films. Her motifs illuminate the tension between virtual existence, Disney fantasies, and the omnipresent urge for self-optimization. Despite the superficially soft aesthetic, bathed in sugary colors, the works formulate a pointed and profound social critique.
The exhibition offers visitors the opportunity to engage with these contemporary issues in the heart of the city until late summer. Those looking for further activities on the weekend in addition to their exhibition visit can find additional inspiration for leisure activities in the region in the current weekend excursion tips.
