Susanne Wehmer’s pictorial universe comes from our modern society’s contemporary daily environment. From this starting point she creates her own personal visions through computer graphics, photomontages or superpositions. She uses industrial supports like plexiglas or aluminium, but produces her paintings using the elaborate techniques of traditional realistic oil painting, obtaining through this process smooth and shiny surfaces.
“… ice cream balls, japanese commercials, plastics and vinyls, aircraft meals… and the sparkling images of the actual synthetic life make up the references which Susanne Wehmer traduces to painting. A devoted declaration of love to imaginary Internet worlds and modern exotic icons. You’ll have to see in order to believe it.” (Joaquín Peña-Toro).
