MELANIE V. TEMME 

"Meistermalerei und Malermeisterei"

Melanie V. Temme is a contemporary visual artist who creates a link between the modern art world and traditional craftsmanship with ‘Meistermalerei und Malermeisterei’. Born into a traditional craft business, she developed a passion for the art of painting as a child.

In her artworks, she masterfully combines painting, varnishing and gilding techniques. She uses palette knife techniques and colour gradients to create both abstract and figurative works that open up new perspectives depending on how you look at them. Her preference for gilding is reflected in her unique colour and material combinations. She also developed her own technique from her crafts, the ‘blind technique’, which enriches her works with a special depth and three-dimensional structure. Another central theme in her art is the role of women, inspired by her experiences in a male-dominated industry.

Melanie V. Temme is a visual artist who has also celebrated success in the world of performance art. Her sophisticated style, characterised by red hair and red lipstick, makes her an unmistakable personality on the art scene.

She has taken part in numerous exhibitions, including the art fairs in Strasbourg, Paris and Luxembourg. Her first solo exhibition ‘Ma Dame’ took place in Karlsruhe in 2019, followed by other major exhibitions in Germany and France as well as acquisitions in the public and private sectors. Voluntary work and donations are also part of her commitment.

Melanie V. Temme is an artist who is increasingly recognised on the international art scene and is characterised by her unique combination of craft and art as well as her distinctive personality.
