Tanja Selzer
Tanja Selzer completed her studies at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, specialising in design. She specialises in painting.
“Writing about sexuality and sensuality,” says Anaïs Nin, “has nothing to do with pornography. For me, writing about eroticism is wild poetry.” This also applies to Tanja Selzer’s painting. She is also interested in the voyeuristic gaze of a society that rarely openly admits to it.
Her works have been exhibited in Germany and abroad since 2005 and are represented in public and private collections, e.g. SØR Rusche Sammlung / Berlin/Oelde, Museum am Dom/Würzburg, HSH Nordbank/Hamburg, Sammlung Schirm/Berlin and others.
Tanja Selzer has participated in exhibitions at the Goethe Institute in Hong Kong, the Museum der Bildenden Künste in Leipzig, the Georg-Kolbe-Museum in Berlin and the Haus am Lützowplatz in Berlin. In 2008 she won the Gesellschafter art.award with a special exhibition at the Art Fair 21 in Cologne.
The artist is a member of the MalerinnenNetzWerk Berlin-Leipzig and Saloon-Berlin and lives and works in Berlin.
