Beautiful women never leave their weapon unattended

2015 | oil paint, acrylic paint and pastel on canvas | 120 × 100 cm

This work portrays two women in bikinis, one of whom has a machine gun strapped to her back. What a strange choice of accessories – or is it?

Tanja Ritterbex’s work is a wild burst of extremes, which she holds together to narrate a story – often something autobiographical. Like the women depicted here, she has everything under control.
