Career
Summarize
Perspective
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 of primary structures through painting and/or digital plots. In her process, Ada Mee combines painting with her own photographs.
Staged conceptual art
One example of her conceptual art is Das Wunder von Puijang ('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 by a cut in the tube.
