Zora Mann, no tool to dissect it no language to name it, 2024; Etching on paper; 52 × 39 cm; 56.5 × 43.5 cm (framed)

Zora Mann’s distinctive aesthetic explores the intersections of diverse experiences and multifaceted interests. Her pulsating, psychedelic visual language draws inspiration from folklore, geometric patterns, dreamlike transitions, and vivid, emotive color palettes. This approach is amplified by a surreal, rhythmic repetition that resonates with and reflects upon numerous artistic movements. In this etching, Mann delves into her signature psychic landscapes, channeling the influences of her everyday life through the intricate lines and pathways etched by the ink, creating a tactile narrative of her inner and outer worlds.

Mann’s work has been featured in prestigious exhibitions at institutions such as the Berlinische Galerie, Villa Arson, Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden, Haus am Lützowplatz, Palais de Tokyo, and BKV-Brandenburgischer Kunstverein.
