Karen Irmer

In her equally poetic and analytical photographs and film installations, Karen Irmer (*1974) reflects on the relationship between illusion and reality, but also between artwork and viewer. Her works are characterized by atmospheric moods and a reduced visual language. The recurring subject is the landscape. In it, she seeks contemplation and contemplation - as an alternative to the overloaded reality of life, in which the possibility of this often no longer seems to exist.

Elvira Lantenhammer

Elvira Lantenhammer's project "Site plans artist's studio" began already in 2007. After she had made her own working space the subject and transformed it into color field painting, she was fascinated by the result. "The pictures show absolutely fitting and expressive the essence of my "hallowed space"". Can a room be fitting ? How must it look for that ? Also Virginia Woolf in her book "The room for their own" in the literature pursued the question, what is necessary for creative work. The curiosity of the artist was aroused, how do other studios look like? To what extent does the environment (room size, light, sounds) influence the artistic work? The research on site in the studios of Elvira Bach, Heinz Butz, Mark Harrington, Reimer Jochims, Stefan Szczesny and others gave her the first color impulses, which led to free variations and are now in the result as beautiful works on paper.

Kirk Sora

The new light objects by Kirk Sora (\*1976) deal with the beauty of light in all its facets. They capture, preserve and process both fleeting components of the broad spectrum of light and those invisible to the naked eye. And can be experienced permanently, even in a figurative sense, they are lights in the dark that have their own inherent secrets. It is worth embarking on an individual search to discover them!

Angela Stauber

Angela Stauber's painting reflects an experience of simultaneity: we are physically in one space, mentally in another. Our lives take place in digital worlds, in the actual here and now, as well as in moments of memory or longing. The painter recapitulates this experience into a pictorial unity. Sketchy painting, sometimes glazing, sometimes pastose and with structure, also with white paper surface between the painted areas. Lapidary applied to a large format, not painted to the end, just as little completed as the motif itself. Gaps, shadows or material, a ray of sunlight, everything seems fleeting, without explaining itself. Originally, the paintings are inspired by large construction sites or public urban squares. In their fleetingness, they show processes of change to which society is constantly exposed. Are these urban landscapes under construction or in the process of destruction? With this state of ambiguity, the artist also wants to pass on to the viewer the question of what we can understand of the reality that surrounds us.
