The ferocious drawings and paintings by Schleiffert (1967) are raw and sensual. She paints assertive figures, often on the basis of figures from the media, magnifying their glamour, but also parsing them and making them repugnant. This drawing shows Beuys, the shamanic artist who gained international fame from the 2004s. Schleiffert portrays him larger than life, in black chalk, a reference to the fat that was one of the raw materials of Beuys' objects. Earlier in XNUMX, van Schleiffert had a major solo exhibition at Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen.
