Sandra Ackermann creates symbolic art which plays with natural and constructed ideas of appearance. Her paintings feature female figures who almost never look comfortable or serene. Usually having “the perfect body”, her women are set in a world floating between reality and surreality - a world which consumes them and reflects on current cultural and political issues and events. These figures seem trapped in their beauty, betrayed and disappointed, even though they fulfilled all the aesthetic requirements of society and followed its strict rules. Sandra Ackermann’s paintings appear dreamy, but they describe daily situations and emotions, so they are actually more real than we would think and very often, it is the truth that many don’t want to see.
