Surrender Dorothy is een verwijzing naar de tekst uit een beroemde scene van the wizard of Oz, waarin in zwarte inktwolken wordt gevraagd om de overgave van Dorothy. 

Het concept bevindt zich tussen fantasie en werkelijkheid en is een ode aan liefde, seksualiteit, verlangen, overgave, dromen, inspiratie en romantiek. Surrender Dorothy staat in deze expositie voor het loslaten van de rede en overgave aan hartstocht. Dit staat in verbinding met de liefde met jezelf; een complexe liefde die vaak door zelfhaat wordt schaduwt. Het verlangen naar de romantische liefde, welke van jongs af aan vooral bij meisjes wordt aangewakkerd, is als het ware de ultieme oplossing voor deze zelfhaat. Deze romantisering die je voor het eerst ontdekt als kind door middel van sprookjes,  romantische verhalen en films nestelen zich diep en welkom in de beeldvorming van wat liefde zal zijn. De ware liefde echter is een spiegel, een oprechte open omarming van jezelf met al je schaduwkanten. De liefde heelt, bevrijdt, inspireert, verbindt en verslindt.

Martine Johanna is beeldend kunstenaar, bekend om haar kleurrijke schilderijen met abstracte en figuratieve elementen. Haar autobiografische werk, schijnbaar luchtig, verkent de dualiteit tussen jeugdige naïviteit en met angst-doorzeefde volwassenheid. De delicaat geschilderde figuren delen een gevoel van volledige onderdompeling in hun eigen “interne psychische landschap.” Martine Johanna heeft internationaal succes en exposeert regelmatig in de VS.

The show title is a reference to the text from a famous scene from The Wizard of Oz, in which black ink clouds demand Dorothy's surrender.
The new exhibition is an ode to love, sexuality, desire, surrender and romance. Surrender Dorothy stands for the release of reason and surrender to passion.
This connects with loving yourself; a complex love that is often overshadowed by self-hatred. The desire for romantic love, which is imprinted from an early age especially for girls, is seemingly the ultimate solution to this self-hatred. A romanticization that you discover for the first time as a child through fairy tales, romantic stories and films, is deeply rooted in the idea of what love will be like.

True love, however, is a mirror, a genuine open embrace of yourself with all your shadow sides. Love heals, frees, inspires, connects and devours.
"My vision, the creative process and its ritual are the most important to me in my work. I myself photograph models that I then digitally put into compositions and abstract, I use this as a rough example, the final result is always different, and often I first make drawings to examine the composition so that I know better whether it works as a painting.

I am a fast painter and often work for days and obsessively on 1 work until it is finished, hence the choice for acrylic which dries quickly with high pigment values so that it has a good color intensity. I work in layers and lines in a broadly saturated and contrasting color spectrum." 

- Martine Johanna
