Fancher Brinkmann • Anne Dahm-Puchalla • Mark Harrington • Pablo Paredes • Petra Hemken
Anne Dahm-Puchalla immerses herself in an inner world that knows about the beauty of fleetingness and fragility. This view of the artist is inspired by the Japanese philosophy “Wabi Sabi”, which finds the unique in imperfection. With repeated layers, she builds up an almost haptic texture. Large surfaces with soft variations of white and grey are intensified by strong accents and contrasts. She has been exhibiting since 1994 – mainly in Cologne and NRW.
Mark Harrington works with reduction and repetition of horizontal lines and structures, creating compositions of unlimited depth. The fascinating surfaces emerge from his own technique: with various tools he draws traces in the still wet acrylic paint.The American has his studio near Munich. He has been exhibiting in Europe and the USA since the 1980s. His works are represented in numerous collections and museums.
Pablo Paredes is a new discovery, as the musician and composer from Chile is exhibiting his art for the first time. His passionate search for new creative impulses led him from jazz and South American music to painting and sculpture 11 years ago. In addition to his minimalist watercolours with intuitively applied forms and colour surfaces, we are showing abstract sculptures and photographs from Chile.
Petra Hemken aus Oldenburg arbeitet jeden Sommer in Italien bei Carrara. Mit Intuition und Achtsamkeit findet sie die Seele im Marmor und Alabaster und legt sein inneres Wesen offen. Ihre Formen scheinen im Spiel von Licht und Schatten leicht zu schweben. Die Zurückhaltung und Ruhe ihrer Skulpturen lädt dazu ein, sie zu berühren und den Schwingungen nachzuspüren.
Seit 1995 stellt sie deutschlandweit aus und ist in zahlreichen Privatsammlungen vertreten.
