OUTDOORS – Plein Air Painting by Christiane Schmitt on the RICKMER RICKMERS

Hamburg-based plein air artist Christiane Schmitt encounters the “outdoors” as a living counterpart. Her paintings emerge in direct dialogue with nature—with drifting clouds, shimmering light, shifting color moods, and the fleeting reflections on the water. Every moment presents new challenges and demands keen perception as well as a spontaneous painterly response.

In this immediate presence, the fleeting experience of seeing is condensed in Christiane Schmitt’s works through the painterly process into an exciting and authentic visual event. The canvas becomes a resonant space for the moment, preserving not only the sight of a landscape but also the intensity of the artist’s immediate perception—as a painterly testament to the multifaceted beauty of the moment.

The historic Rickmer Rickmers is an extraordinary venue for the exhibition. At the

“Galerie unter der Elbe,” maritime history and contemporary painting converge. The view of the harbor extends the paintings and makes a visit to the exhibition a special experience.

“OUTDOORS” invites all interested visitors to experience the world through the eyes of the plein air painter: attentively, gently, and with a keen curiosity for the beauty of the moment.
