Ada Mee (born 1946) is a German artist based in Heidelberg. She works across various mediums, including painting, lithography, and photography.
Ada Mee was born 1946 in Thuringia and lived in Jena until her escape to the Federal Republic of Germany in 1952. She grew up in Bremen, the Eifel, the Swabian Jura, and in Stuttgart, where she graduated from school. She studied architecture in Karlsruhe, finishing as a qualified engineer. [1] She currently lives in Heidelberg and is married with one daughter.
Mee is a member of the Bundesverband Bildender Künstlerinnen und Künstler (German Association of Fine Artists), the Heidelberger Forum für Kunst (Arts Forum of Heidelberg) [2] and the Kunsthöfle Gallery in Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt. [3]
Mee's materials include acrylic paint, watercolour, gouache, pencil, Indian ink on wood, card and various paper types.
Mee refers to her photo art on canvas as "application art," which involves the artistic transformation and/or modification of primary structures through painting and/or digital plots. In her creative process, Ada Mee combines painting with her own photographs, manipulating forms and designs on the computer. She makes changes to the shapes, adjusts colors, and paints realistically and/or digitally until she feels a personal connection with her work.
Mee is known for her conceptual art. One example is Das Wunder von Puijang (en: The Wonder of Puijang) which shows an infant born while the mother was squatting over a toilet, who slipped into a waste tube and was saved.

Norbert Prangenberg was an abstract painter, sculptor, and engraver who was born in Nettseheim, just outside of Cologne, Germany. Though he had no formal training and did not fully engage with art until his 30s, Prangenberg did finally come up with a style that was uniquely his own, not fitting comfortably into the neo-expressionist or neo-geo movements of his time, in the 1970s and 1980s. At this time, he was considered a major figure in contemporary German art. Though he got his start with abstract paintings, he also became known for making sculptures of all sizes; and while his work initially appears abstract, the titles given sometimes allude to the human body or a landscape. As a trained gold- and silversmith, as well as a glassblower, he always showed an attention to materials and how they could be physically engaged with. He was interested in how his own two hands could affect the painting or sculpture's surface. Traces of the artist's hand appear literally throughout his entire oeuvre, before he lost the battle with liver cancer in 2012.
