1979, born in Brasov, Romania lives and works in Vienna, Austria Looking at the pictures by Loretta Stats creates the feeling that she has been ardently working on advancing a certain concept and that she tries to get a grip on an increasingly complex thought system through the means of painting, but without compromising on her personal style. A style that was discovered, that clearly communicated that it was somehow good, but also that something had to and should still happen to it. Stats is strongly committed to a youth culture, both because of her age and her socialization; she conveys the medium of painting by the medium of photography, which reflects a current trend among young painters. Irrespective of whether her objects are figuratively or conceptually superimposed or she, as in rare cases, simply devotes herself to abstraction nearly always a photograph or another electronically created image layer plays a prominent role as information carrier. Just like the flood of images from everyday media, advertising and television stands between ourselves and reality, Stats puts camera images, photographs or computer images between everyday life as we experience it and her painting. It is one of the artists basic statements that today all of us and there is no escape experience the world as it is conveyed to us. That we are only able to articulate our perception of the world, of life, via representatives of reality. She has also drawn on the realm of dreams, the sphere of the unconscious, which is terribly crafty and at the same time almost deliberately and elusively perfidious. The pictures approach is based on a partly object-like, partly abstract calculus, which alienates and displaces their content in a way that transfers us to virtual spheres of experience where familiar perspectives are not valid anymore, where you are almost forced to accept their new guise as heteronomously determined. Of course, this calculus, this control is also communicated by the style of painting, because even though there is a lot to see in the pictures, the painting itself and the lines drawn with brushes are characterized by a distinct accuracy. There are very clear boundaries between individual color fields, and the exceptionally complicated architecture of the pictures presents an aesthetic effect thoroughly considered.
