Streifzüge

In the organizer's words:

-through nature and on paper-
From 29.03.26, Arne Bülow's paintings, photomontages and lino prints at the Kunstbalken Gosselmanns Hof invite you to explore far and near. The variety and diversity of the vegetation that fascinated him on his travels in the tropics, in Europe or in the Baumberge mountains are the inspiration for montages of landscape fragments and structural studies in his studio, which move in the border area between the recognizable and the dissolving. The result is works that evoke and thematize the rampant and labyrinthine in nature in the spirit of an ark of flora.
Wiebke Tiessen finds other things on her forays through the Westphalian agricultural landscape: wayside shrine figures, leftover nature and discarded items from the roadside are the motivic and material source material for her painterly and graphic collages and pictures. This gives rise to encounters such as that of a pleading sandstone Madonna who, frozen in rapture, is revived in vain by a beetle, or that of a crow with a grinning burger wrapper in a roadside still life. The empty plant spaces in the painting of the weeping Madonna are somewhat melancholy. It's a good thing that, in contrast to this, the living things still meander through the pictures or make unthinking comments and the palpable sadness is softened by the liberating flights of swallows.
