Though her works entail unusual materials such as plastic gels, sequins, pools of ink and tinted fluids, but not paint itself, Schumacher’s use of form and colour is said to derive from painterly thinking. About her largescale monochromatic painting "Along the Square", the Marli Hoppe-Ritter Collection observes that the work "brings key questions about painting together—such as the relationship between surface and depth, the effect of colour, and last but not least the relationship between concrete geometrical form and the representation of visible reality." [3] An essay in the artist's 2012 catalog focusses on Schumacher's use of reflective materials: "Extension of space through mirrored surfaces is patently Schumacherian. The imaginary and real co-mingle in a spatial mirror painting, ensnared by its reflective surfaces and coaxed into dialogue by the entranced viewer." [4]
Schumacher's paintings have been exhibited at Museum Ritter in Waldenbuch, Museum Bochum, Temporäre Kunsthalle Berlin, Kunstverein Arnsberg, Kunstverein Bochum, Wilhelm Hack Museum in Ludwigshafen, Märkisches Museum in Witten, Mehdi Chouakri Gallery in Berlin, and Lombard-Freid Fine Arts in New York, and her work appears in permanent collections including the Richard Massey Foundation of Arts and Science in New York, the Marli Hoppe-Ritter Collection, and MONA in Tasmania.

Achim Zeman is a German painter and installation artist. He is known for his extensive spatial installations that stretch across walls and floors and challenge our perception: "Verunsicherung der Betrachterposition, Irritation des Raumgefühls, Desorientierung – all das sind mögliche Umschreibungen für die Wirkung, die Achim Zeman mit seinen installativen Arbeiten erzielt.“ The space altered by Zeman's painterly interventions not only reflects the increasing insecurity experienced by society in recent years, but also enables viewers - precisely because the irritation is caused by artistic, aesthetic means - to engage with it in the first place and to experience uncertainty and changes in perspective not as threatening, but as inspiring.

In 1986 and 2008, he was awarded the Konrad-von-Soest Prize for Visual Arts by the Landschaftsverband Westfalen-Lippe.
