- Summary
- Katrin Plavčak's paintings refer to history of art as well as popular culture, for instance, when she uses set pieces of comics. These themes are transformed by her critical view, her ingenuity, and her tremendous creative power into artistically completely independent and irritatingly current commentaries on our political-social and cultural present. Surrealism, science fiction, and verism enter into a disturbing alliance and generate what the artist calls "amazement" and "personal entertainment." And then there is this couch in Katrin Plavčak's Vienna studio--at a distance of four kilometers from the former location of Sigmund Freud's famous couch. It is at the center of the artist's latest work, which uses this motif to develop various themes, from the subject of "painter and model" to the pertinent aspects of Freudian depth psychology.
