The Geisha with a Cordless Screwdriver
Adding product to your Basket
Description +-
Traditional motives of the Japanese landscape, a Buddhist temple, and geisha confront the tool in the woman's hand. Dominant colours of the landscape are relaxing: harmonic blues and pinks, the opposite to the psychedelic neon orange in the sky and temple. By using these contrasts the artist wanted to emphasise women's active role, as opposed to their rendered general passiveness in traditional art. The skies resemble Munch's "Scream". The geisha is not a decorative detail of this painting: she is its central theme and its purpose.

Tamara Berger
Tamara Berger was born in Belgrade, Serbia, and currently lives with her family in Germany. Alongside painting and exhibiting her work around Germany, Berger teaches art and travels often to artist residencies. One of her primary focuses is the role of a woman in traditional art, and in contemporary societies. American Philosopher Judith Butler and her idea of gender as performative and fluid are often source of inspiration in Tamara´s works. She questions the concept of binary, and speaks for gender equality, and for the rights of women and queer people. Tamara is great admirer of Asian cultures, with a big interest in Japanese culture in particular. She views this artistic interest as similar to that of Vincent van Gogh, who she uses as a point of inspiration.
