Romance and perspective come undone in Humility and the Other One in Me.

Katherina Olschbaur’s paintings, charged with eroticism and mystery, take stylistic inspiration from European art history and romantic figures such as Francesco Goya, while subverting the traditional roles of women in art. Grappling with themes of desire, disbelief, doubt and sensuality, her print constitutes a fusion of memories, artistic inspiration and personal photographs – distilled into a tender embrace.

Katherina Olschbaur1 collaborationKatherina Olschbaur wants to flip the script on women in art. Her paintings are energetic and erotic, and also funny too. One portrait shows a sexy minotaur posing naked with stockinged legs in the air. "You need humour to be serious", she explains. Olschbaur is also obsessed with research, particularly feminist theory. But her style is mainly inspired by dead white men from European art history – she loves the work of romantic painter Francisco Goya and impressionist painter Édouard Manet. This might seem inconsistent, but it's intentional. While working with Olschbaur in 2020, the curator Allyson Unzicker summed up the ethos of her practice perfectly: “If we cannot escape patriarchy, women must challenge and subvert these roles and myths.”

we appreciate the care taken in transport. Our piece was unframed but we appreciated how the packaging was done to protect it and also extras like the information on the art and the tote bag. We love the art work.
