30 Museum Het Domein proudly presents a substantial collection of recent work by Charlotte Schleiffert (Tilburg, 1967). This artist gained international recognition with her very expressive drawings and paintings featuring bright colours, impressive formats, and unconventional use of material such as fake fur and adhesive plastic. Issues related to gender play an important role in her engaged work, as do themes such as intolerance, power, violence, oppression, poverty, and alienation. The exhibition at Het Domein is primarily dedicated to the work Schleiffert has done in the past three years and other pieces that have rarely or never been displayed before. As part of the exhibition, the artist will create a new mural. Rozen en pistolen is the first solo museum exhibition of Schleiffert's work since her exhibition Feel No Shame in Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam, in A constant feature in her drawings and paintings since this time are the hybridized beings that appear in them. They unite various cultures, times, and sexes. 'I want to create a mix of times and locations. My figures are not always happy with their lives and dream of an alternative. They embody the desire for another world,' Schleiffert explains. Travel has always been an important source of inspiration for her choice of subject and material. In she was in residence at the Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin, and over the last few years she has been regularly living working and living in Xiamen, China, for longer periods. In Berlin Schleiffert discovered old-fashioned coloured wrapping paper as a background for her s mall-scale political drawings. In China she started creating collages made of pieces of satin and calligraphic paintings on rice paper. What is striking about her new work is that Schleiffert has increasingly adopted the role of sculptor. While her earlier paintings often included three-dimensional components, in her more recent work amorphous plaster objects and assemblages play a more independent role. Also new are the small-scale almost entirely abstract paintings that exude the artist's joy in painting. With her recent flower and plant motifs, Schleiffert returns to a preoccupation from the period in which she studied at De Ateliers. Even in the fairy-tale-like world that emerges from these works, disaster lurks. Several figures appear to be trapped in the vegetation; a male figure is entangled up to his crotch in a giant liana. Several recent series of drawings are imbued with visual material that Schleiffert has encountered in newspapers and magazines. In these drawings, she attempts to extract pressing issues from the transience of current media. From a stance of personal engagement, Schleiffert makes a searing commentary on world problems in her work. 'My anger at the misuse of power, at injustice and hypocrisy, fuels my work. I am strongly against something or feel enormous aggression. Then a painting must be made,' she once stated in an interview. Just as Schleiffert borrows many of her titles and texts in her work from snippets of sentences from the print media, the title of this exhibition comes from the headline of an article in de Volkskrant newspaper about the commemoration of the Six-Day War in Israel. Roel Arkestijn Museum Het Domein, Sittard (NL), September 2011 The exhibition title Rozen en pistolen (Roses and guns) reflects its content. The personal and the political are always closely connected in Schleiffert's work. In her recent drawings and paintings, seemingly sweet depictions with flower motifs alternate with strongly engaged pieces.
