Dan Hepperle – Dieter Laue – Sabine Classen – Regina Kochs
Dan Hepperle ‘s paintings open up a space beyond the everyday – a silent field in which viewers come into contact with something deeper. His paintings are not decorative objects, but invitations to slow down one’s own perception and feel how color, form and silence interact. Hepperle sees art as a medium that enables communication where language reaches its limits. Encounters with his works often create an inner resonance, a pause that touches and purifies. His paintings provide moments of beauty, truthfulness and a quiet, unifying power.
Dieter Laue ‘s works are a play of the elements. Water meets self-produced colors made from pigments, minerals and earth – a lively interplay of energy and matter. Flowing structures are created that are reminiscent of rivers, landscapes or mysterious organisms. Laue intervenes to direct, tilts, turns and guides the water until a conscious composition is formed from the seemingly random. His painting always remains in dialog with nature: powerful, organic, full of depth. Anyone who engages with these pictures will not only discover fascinating forms, but also a glimpse of “what holds the world together at its core.”
Sabine Classen ‘s ceramic sculptures look like captured movements – dynamic, organic and at the same time full of poetry. She forms figures that twist and unfold as if they were dancing. Her works balance between form and free space, reminiscent of plant tendrils, waves or dancing silhouettes that follow the light and fluidly conquer the space. Each sculpture stores movement as if it had just been created from the moment. Classen’s art sees itself as taking shape in time – lively, light as a feather and yet grounded. Anyone entering her works is immersed in a sensual becoming that awakens curiosity and wonder.
In her paintings, Regina Kochs subtly opens up the question of how individual parts form a coherent whole – an interplay of lines, structures and spaces that is both lively and meditative. Circles, loops and recurring forms create multi-layered compositions in which empty spaces also become significant: They breathe space and depth. With a confident yet open design, Kochs allows what grows in the moment to emerge in a controlled manner. Her works negotiate social and formal orders without being loud – and therefore encourage us to take a closer look. An invitation to be moved by the clarity and poetry of her painting.
