The Austrian-born artist Mona Hörtnagl made Berlin her chosen home in 2015. The contrast between the urban concrete world and the landscapes of the Alps has always been the most important source of inspiration for her artistic work. In the exhibition Urbanhome Mona Hörtnagl deals with this very contrast of urbanity to wild nature. Shapes, colors and images of the city are juxtaposed and blended with the same of the countryside, the rugged mountain world.
Her style is loud, sensitive and unmistakable. With her works, Mona Hörtnagl thus creates a personal view of things that are close to her. The subjects of her works are as diverse as the color palettes that she uses. Using a mix of analog and digital techniques, the collages are created through the interplay of scanning, painting, cutting and finally digital editing.
