Tanja Playner also deals with modern objects, consumer products and people's emotions.
She speaks in her art about the way of our society and touches the hearts of the beholder
with colorful colors in conjunction with positive emotions. Her motives are not sad emotions,
and they are the opposite of cartoons.
Since 2018 Tanja Playner has been experimenting with body plasticity, space and the human
sense of self in relation to objects and space. In combination with her already developed
style, the artworks often show controversial depictions of the human body to reality. In
contrast to the artist Georg Baselitz, who mainly turns the human body upside down, Tanja
Playner places the human body perpendicular to objects. Split upper bodies and lower bodies
can often be seen on the artworks, placed perpendicularly, parallel or transversely to one
another.
Split upper and lower bodies can often be seen in the works of art, placed perpendicularly,
parallel or transversely to one another, but also to the landscapes, still lifes and objects. Often
the images are presented in combination with abstract intricate wave-like lines.
