Johanna Bath German, b. 1980

With collar, Johanna Bath zooms in on a quiet detail, a buttoned shirt, softly lit and slightly out of focus. It’s a simple, everyday moment, yet it feels deeply intimate, almost like a snapshot from a dream. The blurred lines and warm tones give it a sense of vulnerability and tenderness, turning a familiar piece of clothing into something emotionally charged. Like much of her work, this painting invites viewers to fill in the blanks with their own memories, asking us to slow down and notice the beauty in what we often overlook.
