Ackermans, Jan
Heck has been described as a ‘post-feminist’ because of her confrontational representation of the female body. Reminiscent of Rita Ackerman’s portraits of corrupted innocence and Franz West’s innuendo laden collages, Heck’s monumental sized paintings draw from both personal experience and popular culture, creating a heightened sense of drama or glamour from the everyday. Often depicting herself and people she knows, her works operate as theatres of fantasy projection, using the diversity of painting as a means to engage with the potential of imagination.

These are presented in photo or video form, set in theatrical surroundings (“I regret-Ich Bedauerlich”, Heia Bube drueckt mich”). For the artist, Hitchcock also stands as symbol for the investigation into a reality where we are inevitably drawn, like it or not. The photographs are further worked with acrylic-markers and paint which add text to accompany the image and provide a pertinent message of sorts. The paintings, often in large format, are a compilation of classically painted human bodies and lines, flecks and texts, seemingly hurled upon the canvas. The spontaneity emerges in the confrontation between the overall composition with the perfectly painted bodies. Humour and Seriousness, and the translation of this body of ideas into an art of wholly masterful expression, is the foundation stone for the power emanating from Katie Heck’s work

The Zookeeper’s Wife: A War Story $5.00 Amazon Significant Seven, September 2007: On the heels of Alan Weisman’s The World Without Us I picked up Diane Ackerman’s The ZookeeperÂ’s Wife. Both books take you to Poland’s forest primeval, the Bialowieza, and paint a richly textured portrait of a natural world that few of us would recognize. The similarities end there, however, as Ackerman explores how that sense of natural order imploded un… |

A Natural History of the Senses $5.40 “One of the real tests of writers,” notes Ackerman in this liveliest of nature books, “is how well they write about smells. If they can’t describe the scent of sanctity in a church, can you trust them to describe the suburbs of the heart?” Ackerman passes the test, writing with ease and fluency about the five senses. Did you know that bat guano smells like stale Wheat Thins? That Bach’s musi… |
