Gabriele Musebrink’s intuitive process painting is a reflection of natural life processes and a tracing of the materials to be used like technique in the process of painting. Her love is for natural materials with a life of their own: Pigments, marble flour, earths, oils, dammar, bone glues, waxes, swamp lime whitewash, curd and others. The process of pictorially thematised transformation becomes part of the painting process itself and belongs to the becoming of the picture.
Dieter Laue’s painting technique is based on the interplay of colour = matter and water = energy, i.e. “that which holds the world together at its core” and creates the forms of nature. Set on the wet canvas, the running water wears away from the paint and contours and banks, borderlines and interconnections emerge – a beautiful play. Laue combines self-made colours and graphics to create new sounds and an intentional composition.
Uwe Langmann’s photographs show the poetic moments in the ordinary. With a deep inner calm that is transmitted to the viewer, he sometimes waits a whole day until light and motif come together. Many of his images have a peculiar abstraction that reflects his fascination with winter landscapes, white surfaces and geometric orders. Uwe has won international awards in photography competitions.
Wooden objects are dedicated to sculpture as a pure form of expression, without any borrowings from reality. Alternating between reduction and variety, he creates a balanced relationship of calm and playful movement. The forms, relatively simple in structure and colour, are enlivened by a structure of proportions and the resulting rhythms – variations of enclosing, lining up, nesting.
In Martin Sieverding’s sculptures, the structure becomes the architectural framework, the colour surface its own fabric, its own colour skin. The phenomenon of shadow becomes part of the artwork itself. The varied white colour grows to become the bearer of meaning in this group of works. The bleached, frozen, snow-covered, spun effect refers to Martin Sieverding’s precise powers of observation. In the plasticity of his objects, the artistic processes continue to have an effect despite the reduced colour palette.
Since 2011, he has been represented at numerous exhibitions in NRW. The artist, born in 1961, has his studio in Mülheim an der Ruhr.
