 In recent years Ms. Ackermann's politically and erotically stimulating works have encompassed pictures of society divas portrayed as monsters, talons uncovered.Other paintings denote towards our current day sociocultural climate she found in her adoptive country, a climate she studied without the passion, as if she had microscopic vision on some especially innate life form.Extracts of car crashes, beggars and lurkers, grimacing cowboys, and scenes of mass mayhem like the Oklahoma City bombing are few of the works we see from Ackermann.
