About

With her elaborate, mostly textile works, Nina Braun offers the viewer a highly tactile experience and the possibility to get into it fast by using simple forms, iconic characters and ironic humorous storytelling. Through closer inspection the viewer might discover what stands beneath the friendly surface: social research and criticism, psychodrama, tragedy and joy of life.
Moving her focus even more towards sculpting over the past years, Nina takes the liberty to explore different materials and processes. She produces sculptures, installations, textile pictures, objects and cartoons.
