Function, quote and work
I live my art mutabel, just like spring, summer, autumn and winter. Because of that I do not let myself be woven into something, neither linear, thematic nor conceptual.
Painting
With acrylic paint, watercolour, gouache, pencil, Indian ink on wood, card and various paper types.
Staged photo art
She is calling her photo art on canvas as application art - artistic transformation and/or modification of primary structures through painting and/or digital plots. Ada Mee combines painting and her own photographs, forms and designs those on the computer, changes the shapes again, adjusts colours, paints realistic and/or digital until she can identify with her work.
Staged conceptual art
Heavy opposed intellectual worlds collide in her re-enacted stagings, phantasies mixed with realities which often illustrate the shattering truth.
- The miracle of Pujiang has deeply touched many people. During his birth on a squat toilet, the small Chinese boy slipped into a waste-pipe and was then saved by firemen in a dramatic rescue mission after several hours. Real event of May 2013
- We can see bodies which are embellished and those which are repaired with artificial limbs and artistic suspension struts. On the other hand, bodies cannot be seen anymore. Due to epidemics like ebola or multiple resistant germs they are forced into protective gears, for not paying with their own lives when helping the ill.
