Borchardt

Description

Weber’s figurative oil paintings blend influence from French realism with an awareness of contemporary pop culture. The painting “Borchardt 12:28 AM” is from the series “Berlin Mitte Diaries”, a series that reflects on the way consumption and self-image interrelate. Her paintings imitate lifestyle scenes captured with her Leica and iPhone cameras, a homage to her early days as a photographer. The objects and compositions reflect scenes that seem culturally familiar, like scrolling through a social media feed. Yet the soft and warm color palette radiates a timeless elegance and depth, like a camera filter layered on top of the picture.
