Dan Hepperle’s painting opens a space beyond the everyday – a quiet field where viewers come into contact with something deeper. His works are not decorative objects, but invitations to slow perception and to feel how color, form, and silence interact. Hepperle understands art as a medium that enables communication where language reaches its limits. In encountering his works, an inner resonance often arises – a pause that touches and purifies. His painting offers moments of beauty, truth, and a quiet, unifying power.
Dieter Laue’s works are a play of the elements. Water meets self-made colors from pigments, minerals, and earth – a living interplay of energy and matter. Flowing, structures emerge that recall riverbeds, landscapes, or mysterious organisms. Laue intervenes, tipping, turning, guiding the water until a conscious composition arises from the seemingly accidental. His painting always remains in dialogue with nature: powerful, organic, full of depth. Those who engage with these images discover not only fascinating forms but also a glimpse of “what holds the world together at its core.
Sabine Classen’s ceramic sculptures appear like captured movements – dynamic, organic, and at the same time full of poetry. She shapes figures that twist and unfold as if they were dancing. Her works balance between form and free space, recalling plant tendrils, waves, or dancing silhouettes that follow the light and fluidly conquer the room. Each sculpture stores movement, as if it had just emerged from the moment. Classen’s art understands itself as the becoming of form in time – alive, featherlight, and yet grounded. Entering her works means immersing oneself in a sensuous becoming that awakens curiosity and wonder.
Regina Koch’s painting fascinates through the tension between simplicity and complexity. From clear basic forms – line, circle, oval – and few, often monochrome colors, emerge works that radiate calm and clarity from afar, yet unfold surprising depth up close. Layer by layer, Kochs develops structures in which the eye endlessly discovers new connections and movements. It is a play of surface, color, and line that appears at once analytical and poetic. Her paintings invite viewers to pause, to look more closely, and to be drawn by clarity and structure into a quiet movement.
