Spring is commonly associated with nature's reawakening and new beginnings, as reflected in literature, music, and art. Our current exhibition, 'Spring Vibes', showcases fresh art in our new premises. The exhibited works are characterised by purposeful lighting, clearly pronounced use of materials and vibrant colours.
Laura Aberham creates images that aim to provide the viewer with a powerful experience, similar to that of a natural spectacle. Sandra Casagrande and Roberto Recalcati, as an artist duo, paint intricate flower compositions that depict the life cycle of blossoming, full bloom, and fading. Rayk Goetze's paintings exhibit a combination of old-masterly precision and a bold, flat application of colour. The use of gloomy and luminous colours creates a unique atmosphere and tension that brings the pictures to the present day. Yijie Gong's contemplative colour field paintings provide a backdrop-like spatial experience with a suggestive depth effect, making the colours visually and physically tangible. Edite Grinberga's work can be stylistically located between 19th-century interior depictions by old masters and photorealism. The works are characterised by an impressive use of light and soft colours. Alfred Haberpointner's works display the traces of the working process through textures created by beating, chopping, and burning. These textures condense into a graphic surface, developing a special aura. Josef Hirthammer's greatly enlarged blossoms symbolise the beauty and vulnerability of nature and act as memorials against climate change. Dorothee Liebscher's pictures move in a field of tension between nostalgia and utopia and have a specific colour palette. Constantin Schroeder's works often have an ambivalent pictorial statement, with different levels of meaning and facets that defy clear interpretation. Leszek Skurski's deliberate reduction in pictures provides the viewer with key points and suggestions, allowing them to fill in the details with their own stories and colours. Leif Trenkler creates impressive stagings with expressive light reflections, snapshots, and everyday scenes in complex colour compositions that oscillate between fiction and reality. Miriam Vlaming's paintings exhibit a harmonious symbiosis of supposed opposites through shadowy overlays created by the application and removal of colour. Malte van de Water expertly plays with shapes, figures, lines, and shades in his works. His chosen titles playfully initiate stories and leave room for the imagination.
