Springer's painting “match“ refers to Johann Christian von Mannlich's „Young Woman Fastening a Letter to the Neck of a Pigeon“, (c. 1760) that can be found in the Philadelphia Museum of Art today. Mannlich played with sexual topics in his work and Springer transforms his approach into a pink, luminous interpretation of the erotic subject.
Sibylle Springer’s work deals with old and contemporary artworks that serve as the groundwork for her paintings and which engage with the portrayal of gruesome subject matter and sexuality. Often she refers to baroque or rococo paintings that are characterized by ambivalent impact.
