Every summer we present a group exhibition curated by us with works from our storages. This year - after our great and successful Xianwei Zhu exhibition - we did not want to let the theme of landscape go without saying and have put together a selection of different landscape paintings.
These are works by Conrad Jon Godly: impasto, massive and present despite their partly small-format painting. For the first time, we are showing two works from a series called "Schwarzwald" - the view of tree trunks, roots and undergrowth.
Martin Schnur's landscape pictures captivate through the use of the picture-in-picture motif. Perspectives are cancelled out. The landscape is subdivided, cut away to reveal the infinite expanse of a picturesque depth.
And Xianwei Zhu takes up this depth of Schnur and reveals to the viewer a diffuse European landscape in the style of traditional Chinese painting. A symbiosis between Zen Buddhism and the tradition of German Romanticism thus becomes the main focus of the self-proclaimed bridge builder between nations.
