Vernissage: Hjördis Baacke - "Beyond the Trees"

In the organizer's words:

Hjördis Baacke, Painting
"Our entire aesthetic perception of nature is inextricably linked to the history of art." - Martin Seel, An Aesthetics of Nature

The forests we admire in Germany today are fleeting snapshots of a constantly changing history. Be it the Leipzig Auwald, the Bavarian Forest, the Harz Mountains or the Spreewald - each of these forests is the result of a development that began hundreds of millions of years ago.
Hjördis Baacke presents works that express the fragile beauty of nature, the play of colors, and the moment of contemplation that transience brings. Her paintings invite us to reflect on man's relationship with nature - a source that has always shaped our existence. Baacke's seemingly anachronistic approach opens up new perspectives on the timeless connection between man and nature.
