Exhibitions for international galleries and art fairs

Perfect designs in all art styles, like photorealism, impressionism, abstract expressionism, pop art, vintage art, … as well as graphical text compositions… or in my self developed style from 1993: OPTIK-DESIGN – My works have a biomorphic character. BioMorph is the unobstructed and liquid transformation from one form to another.

Creation of concepts and ideas from other artists in the airbrush technique and using classical painting. Individual production and painting on all possible materials such as wood panels, canvases, electronic light panels, plexiglass, MDF panels etc.

Commissioned by KROME Gallery, Susi Montoro painted large-format wooden displays for the artist Markus Weisbeck. The two largest woodcuts in the exhibition “DO THE STARS NEED A REASON TO SHINE” were refined by S.Montoro using her particular airbrush technique. Graphical text images of poetically absurd invented words were sprayed onto wooden panels using a completely new method.

SPECULATIONS ON COSMIC CULTURE

Plato with biometric overlay

The form has become the form—There is no longer a need for a distinction between the particular and the universal. Plato’s ‘faceness’ has been quantified and digitized and his biography, stress levels, horoscope, download queue, credit history and criminal record have all been cross-checked for potential threat-patternage. Are the laser lines a symbol of magic and wonder or of cold totalitarianism?

MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART

Sydney, Australia, 2016
25th anniversary of MCA Sydney

Performance: HOPE BREATHES THE MUSEUM

For the Australian artist T.Noble, the airbrush designer Susi Montoro has created 2 helmets based on her ideas using airbrushing. The helmet became a creative exhibition object for the first time at Künstlerhaus Bethanien.

Hope Breathes the Museum is a commissioned performance for the Sydney Museum of Contemporary Art’s 25th Anniversary in 2016. To kick off and conclude the weekend celebration, the performance served as a way to breathe in the past and exhale the future with beat-box singing techniques. For this purpose, the sprayed art helmet was impressively staged.

Pawn Shop in the exhibition:
IN MEINER WOHNUNG GIBT ES VIELE ZIMMER

Concept and idea:
Gregor Hildebrandt,
Bad Homburg vor der Höhe, Germany, 1974

Since 2016, the artist Gregor Hildebrandt has repeatedly commissioned the Swiss airbrush artist to paint various chess pawns. Since then, more than 90 pawns, mostly white, have been made.

First, selected wooden chess pieces are cast in bronze. S.Montoro then repaints the bronze chess blanks with her filigree paint-mixing technique into corresponding wood imitations. She makes every single blank look deceptively real, as if the cast bronze was an original chess piece made of wood. The WOW effect comes when you lift what seems like a light wooden figure, because the small sculptures are heavy as lead.

The idea behind his concept is to cast smaller objects from bronze to be painted later. For an international exhibition in 2016, this method was used to create, among other things, 4 cheese bites for a mixed media art project.
