GALERIE VON&VON presents the two young positions Tessa Wolkersdorfer and Dorothee Liebscher in the current exhibition "The Room In My Head" from 15.05. to 30.06.2018 in Nuremberg.
In this unique exhibition, Tessa Wolkersdorfer, master student of Peter Angermann, and Dorothee Liebscher, painting student at the Leipzig Academy of Visual Arts, unite in a concentrated symposium. Wolkersdorfer has been working as a freelance artist for some time, while GALERIE VON&VON recently discovered Liebscher on a tour of Leipzig, where she caught the eye with her extraordinary works and is now presented in one of her first exhibitions.
The two positions show how artists go their own way with high-quality stringency. By visibly capturing their thought spaces on canvas for the viewer, influences from the New Leipzig School to "Wanderlust" motifs, inspired by Instagram and paired with the idealism of Generation "Y", become visible.
The exploration of the theme of "space" is central to both artists.

Dorothee Liebscher creates pictorial worlds that show reality in a transformed, sometimes surrealistic form.
The morbid space as well as the interaction of space with nature and man form the central themes in the works. A special role is played by the reconquest of the mostly abandoned and dilapidated premises by nature. The doors are opened ...
