During the course of her studies, Josiane Ginter got to know and appreciate woodcuts. In the beginning, she plunged into large-format woodcuts with great courage and without knowledge. It was fun, colours were created, mistakes were made, some could be fixed, others not, nevertheless, Josiane was thrilled. She had developed a passion for woodcuts.<\/p>\n
Her workpieces became bigger and bigger and more and more colourful, eventually resembling paintings. She works with oil-based letterpress inks. Lack of press means her body is used. It must run over the printing block (stamp print) with firm steps so that the ink can transfer well. She currently prints mainly on wooden panels, but she also prints on paper, perspex and linen, plasticised fabrics and tin using this technique.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”et_body_layout”][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”8214,8213,8212″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”et_body_layout” sticky_enabled=”0″ custom_margin=”9px|||||”][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”et_body_layout” width=”100%” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″ theme_builder_area=”et_body_layout”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”et_body_layout” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]
The female body was represented almost exclusively by men. To date, only a few women have re-appropriated the female body in art. These few women say of themselves that they develop their own performance style and their own aesthetic around the female figure. Josiane Ginter has developed something special in her female portrayals, it is very noticeable that she leaves nothing out in her female portrayal and shows the female body with all its characteristics. However, the focus of observation is different, it does not reduce anything that defines the woman, but all her female figures have very large feet. Josiane deliberately gives her figures a certain dimension. It depicts a woman who is not just an object to be observed, but a person who is anchored to the earth with both feet. The result is a being that derives its self-image from its connection with Mother Earth. This being tells us that we are always the origin of life, that we come to earth to keep things going.<\/p>\n
