Tanja Ritterbex (1985)
Laundry Day
2025 | Acrylic on canvas | 120 × 100 cm
Tanja Ritterbex has been called the Lady Gaga of art. Exuberant in her work, Ritterbex is extremely aware of the huge influence that the internet has on young people in particular, and she plays with this in her professional practice. Ritterbex examines the boundless fascination of online culture with a healthy dose of humour and self-reflection. The subject of her colourful and expressive paintings and video art is often Ritterbex’s own body and life, with work that makes us think about who we are and what it means to make oneself vulnerable.
In her current body of work, Ritterbex focuses on the role of women in modern family life. How are they combining child care, household tasks like laundry, and their busy jobs? Do you recognize the situation portrayed here?
