Janina Roider
Janina Roider, born in 1986 in Dachau, Germany, currently resides and works in Munich, Germany, and Montalivet, France.
She completed her art studies from 2006 to 2015 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich under the mentorship of Günter Förg and Matthias Wähner. In 2011, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts at the Glasgow School of Art after receiving an international scholarship. She graduated with distinction in 2014 and was awarded her diploma as a master student of Professor Günter Förg in 2015. During this time, she received the Federal Scholarship for Gifted Students from the Scholarship Foundation Villigst e.V.
Roider has been honored with several awards and scholarships, including an Work Grant from the City of Munich (2021), the German Artists' Association (2022) and the Konrad Adenauer Foundation Scholarship (2018–2019). Her artistic work has been supported by studio grants from the City of Munich and the Bavarian Studio Support Program several times. Additionally, she has received support from the Erwin and Gisela Steiner Foundation twice for her latest and newest publications, with her newest publication also being funded by the Curt Wills Stiftung. Her works are part of collections such as the Bavarian State Parliament, Peppermint Holding, the Lange Collection, the Peter Ruppert Collection, and the Ingeborg Neumann Collection. In 2022, her video work "5 Minutes of Fame" was awarded by the City of Munich. In 2014, she won the first prize at the "Hommage à Günter Förg" exhibition at the International Art Festival in Toulouse, and a few years earlier, she received the "Junge Kunst" award from the BBK Ingolstadt. Her publication, "Make it newer! Janina Roider," published by Kerber Verlag in 2020, was shortlisted for the most beautiful German art books (Stiftung Buchkunst).
Roider's artistic practice exhibits a distinctive fusion of digital and analogue processes, evident in her formal language. Each of her works originates from a hand-drawn piece, which is subsequently digitized. For her sculptures, this involves creating a digital print, which is then meticulously expanded in a manner reminiscent of the techniques employed by the Old Masters, through the successive application of layers. The next phase entails transforming the digital drawing into a print designed for mass reproduction, serving as Roider's canvas and support.
