The artistic work of Johanna Strobel is very versatile in the choice of her means of expression. Within an exciting play of light and shadow, the focus is often on objects of our banal life, which are elevated to the protagonists of her paintings. They dissolve in the surrounding black and show her idiosyncratic gaze on the daily lives.
