Frequently employing dark glamour and a wry deliberate humour, her paintings, depicting female impropriety, work within the tradition of feminist art to offer a riposte to self-censure. Drawn to investigate the meaning of cultural trends she invites the viewer to reflect on the ways in which gender, class, sexuality and spectatorship slyly intersect to circumscribe the repertoire of legitimate actions available to women.

While sceptical of straightforward narratives of empowerment, the paintings depict the differences between private and public selves, as well as the adoption of protective guises as a form of subterfuge, often discomfortingly at odds with the inner self.

Boscher Theodor grew up in Cologne, the booming art capital of the 1980s, where he was strongly influenced by punk and bad painting. The first work to bring him public attention was a short movie, W.S.Borroughs – Gorillas on fire, in collaboration with Walter Dahn. This early debut was followed by further 16mm films with Walter Dahn and Imi Knoebel offering the young artist a stimulating introduction to the art practice. Later on, through his philosophy studies and influenced by these early experiences with film, he developed a transdiciplinary approach, merging in his works the vocabulary of both film and painting.
