Bettina Bohn is a German Artist living and working from Hohenegg.

Her work ‘Körperhauten’ - ‘Body skins’ is celebrating the beauty of female torsi.

The sensitive organ skin, the membran between the inner and outer world is symbolising the struggle of being beautiful from within while a commercial world is only celebrating outward beauty. The use of these natural materials, that are sometimes uneven and rugged, with unique patterns demonstrates the individuality and unique beauty that lies within all human bodies. Individuality that strays from a perfect body image celebrated by the media.

The way different natural materials are used (white and red cabbage, fur) is highlighting the different challenges women face: being optjectified, being desired, being safe within one’s skin, of transfroming and adapting. 

 

'The theme femininity that Bettina Bohn is capturing so varied and sensitive to materiality, shines through all of her works. Like fragments of antique statues appear these leather-like skins formed as torsi... Whereas the skins also resemble something like sheaths.'
