Kerstin Kartscher

Kerstin Kartscher is an artist known for her pieces dealing with contemporary women. These women praise their femininity within the pictures. The drawings incorporate landscapes with shapes and other focal points, such as flowers and women. She her pictures are mostly a dull background color, but she adds contrasting colors to emphasize certain figures within the composition.




This picture seems to have an ocean like landscape. With the pink coloring, it looks as if parts of the picture were on fire. I'm not really sure why there is a monkey in the drawing. She does a lot of shading by using multiple lines, like in the ocean waves, or in the clouds in the sky.




I think this picture is really interesting. The background looks shaded in lines like the last drawing. I think the black fireplace and easel are a great contrast to the grey background.




In this picture, you can see the focus of femininity by Kartscher. She does this by focusing on that object in black, rather than a color that blends with the background, like the greyish-pink flower/plant thing.
