Gabriele Musebrink

PAINTING

Gabriele Musebrink is concerned with filtering out the essential. She enters into a communication process with her material, sets surfaces in motion and natural materials in tension until the surface cracks and becomes haptically tangible. In the process, the artist is guided by the natural properties of the material. Like an alchemist, she transforms raw materials and elevates them to art. Represented at exhibitions since 1995, she also runs an art school in Essen and seminars throughout Europe. In recent years, she has been increasingly present at international art fairs and in important collections, e.g. Art Karlsruhe and the Ministry of North Rhine-Westphalia.

Oleg Yurov

PAINTING

Oleg Yurov from Kiev has developed his own technique, which he calls „Free Motion“. He makes the paint flow, which enables him to show the world in its movement, creating intense impressions. The large format of the paintings brings the focus to inner worlds and their character, for example in his flower paintings. His works move between abstraction and representationalism. FlowFineArt discovered the emerging artist in 2017 and is organising his first exhibition in Western Europe. Oleg Yurov has been represented in Ukraine and Russia since 2014 with exhibitions and numerous seminars.

Christoph Jakob

Photography

Christoph Jakob builds his towers from stone elements like an architect and gives each „building“ an individual aura. He accentuates with polished edges and shapes and grants insights and views through open spaces. Christoph Jakob has developed a process in which he splits the found stone and assembles the processed fragments. His materials are very hard: the igneous rock granite and the volcanic rock basalt. The sculptor from the Frankfurt area has had numerous exhibitions throughout Germany since 2001, he is represented with art on buildings and creates sculptures with the element of water.

Jürgen Keil

Sculpture

For many years, Jürgen Keil has dedicated himself to photographing plant details, fruit and seed stalks, the time after flowering. His minimalist photographs were taken with professional lighting in the studio. The simplicity and aesthetics of the stagings are reminiscent of Japanese engravings. In his latest series, he works with reflections. Jürgen Keil wants to sharpen the senses for the small, inconspicuous things in nature, to awaken more reverence for the big picture. His photographs are a call to counteract the threat posed to nature by man and to preserve it.
