EXHIBITING ARTISTS
The paintings of Anne Dahm Puchalla emerge from an open, intuitive creative process that unfolds in the dialogue between the artist, color, and form. Decades of experience support this process without defining it. Each painting remains a venture, where uncertainty and surprise are consciously allowed. The creation process remains visible: fields of color, architectural structures, and exposed layers overlap. In the balance between intuition and conscious decision, the work intensifies until an inner harmony is achieved. The abstract paintings point to an invisible, yet real, reality.
In the work of Dutch artist Catharina de Rijke, the theme of landscape is central, but not as a depiction of real nature. Instead, landscape appears as a poetic space in relation to the human being. The human body can be understood as a landscape, just as the landscape can be seen as a body. This perspective refers to a spiritual understanding of the Earth as a living whole of nature and living beings. This intense intellectual engagement with the theme has left lasting marks, giving rise to several cycles of work that continue to shape her creations to this day.
The sculptures by Rüdiger Seidt are created from drawings that are translated into CAD models and used as precise templates for laser-cut steel plates. The individual elements are shaped, welded, and gradually built into a clear volume. Welding and grinding are used exclusively to achieve the three-dimensional form. The quality of the works lies in the harmonious relationship between form, material, and space, as well as in a homogeneous, almost seamless surface. For Rüdiger Seidt, the rusty surface is an expression of time, change, and impermanence – a symbolic reference to the natural cycle of life.
Allmuth Lenz operates in the intersection of photography and painting with her artistic work. Sie verbindet beide Ausdrucksformen, indem sie die Kamera wie ein malerisches Werkzeug nutzt, um sich ihren inneren Bildern atmosphärischer Landschaften anzunähern. Dabei entdeckte sie die Lochkamera, auch Camera obscura genannt, als bewusst gewähltes Medium mit eigener poetischer Bildsprache. Diese älteste Form der Fotografie arbeitet allein mit dem Lichteinfall durch eine kleine Öffnung. Durch Freihandaufnahmen und lange Belichtungszeiten erzeugt Allmuth Lenz gezielt Unschärfen, die den Bildern eine besondere Tiefe und Stimmung verleihen.
