"Plan B.contd"

In this series of images from “PLAN B” (catalog/exhibition title, see flip catalog), she consistently manages to strike a skillful balance between the tried and tested and openness to new experiences! These mental processes and changes manifest themselves in the painting process through coloration and changes in the image. She critically rethinks her initial ideas, places the present in time and space, and reformulates the image.

Utopian dwellings that could resemble romantic space stations—Plan B—a “beautiful home” in very airy, floating capsules accessible by narrow ladders, stilt houses, a swimming pool. A Plan B also when M. Temnitschka artistically shapes UFOs from her idea of scrap parts floating in space (“space debris”) in order to be installed in her “TEMWELT,” orbiting the globe, neatly arranged and beautifully painted.

Nature is increasingly conquering the interior. Either water penetrates everywhere, or a carpet of tiles above the water picturesquely draws in a second level, thus emphasizing the peaceful atmosphere between ancient walls. She loves these illusions and enjoys playing with them. Humans never appear directly in her picture stories, but we encounter them—even in this cycle—inconspicuously, like a pleasant memory. Perhaps the “picture reader” recognizes the acquaintance—if it is him—or are we mistaken ?

Despite all her urge to go out into nature, the painter cannot and will not deny her affinity for “hard materials” such as metal, discarded iron, discarded items, and scrap. We believe that her interest in recyclable materials comes from her studies in metal design. These materials were and remain the content of her work, both in her paintings and in her objects (Bestiarium | WUNDERKAMMER, Künstlerhaus Wien, 2024) !
A plan B – to incorporate her studies in metal design into her painting !

Sensual and exciting, these new works by Maria Temnitschka – worth lingering over – worth reading – worth owning one of them !
