Galamb Thorday (*1990), lives and works in Leipzig (DE). Her paintings are interspersed with consumer-orientated references that only dissolve their perfectionism on closer inspection. They reflect a society in which the boundary between products and consumers is becoming increasingly blurred. The artist defies today's cynical wisdom such as ‘You don't need much to be happy’ with extremely lavish demands for quality of life. We see glowing salt stone oases, balancing stones, wellness treatments and concentration activities such as breaking boards in martial arts. In the backgrounds: surreal constellations, traces of stories, exaggeratedly beautiful natural landscapes, Zen gardens and playful stone balustrades.
