Simone Eisele: after Millet.

Simone Eisele (*1994 in Reutlingen) presents newly created sculptures and installations from the studio of the HAP Grieshaber Foundation. They respond to her temporary return to rural areas and thus also to the environment in which she grew up. The artist takes up enigmatic motifs from Jean-François Millet's once extraordinarily popular painting and their replication in modern and postmodern art. Eisele focuses on motifs of the so-called simple life, physical labor (of women) and their post-industrial alienation. Her interest in popular culture, myths and customs puts her on a narrow course between the fleeting idyll and a contrast between imitated everyday life and the museum space.
