PEOPLE - 2&2 ARTIST COUPLES

We are looking forward to the exhibition with two married couples of artists entitled "PEOPLE 2+2" in our gallery in Heidelberg. I love the fact that art always makes us think and engage with current issues, which is so important especially in this time of impending change.

What is our current exhibition about, which can be seen until November 30, 2024? About people, humanity, the role of women and men, about positive impulses in this time but also a return to values ​​and simply being “happy”. Esther Miranda and Jesús Miguel Rodriguez de la Torre show encounters, accidental or remembered from childhood. Svetlana Magenheim-Gegg takes on the role of women, yesterday, today and tomorrow, how I understand myself as a woman and, of course, the role of men.

Markus Magenheim creates productions with people he knows personally, and his depictions of people often include references to art history and religious themes. And so a snapshot of a “play” becomes a metaphor for values, what is allowed and what is not. The importance of family is mostly present in his works. The fact that the artist paints only with one color, named "Caput Mortuum", enhances the effect. We look forward to an effective exhibition with numerous visitors and a lively exchange.

With kind regards Petra Kern & Team

BUJA & JOHANNES NAWRATH * TWO ARTISTS - TWO WORLDS

OPENING 6th of June 2024 7 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. - Look forward to getting to know the artists in person. Exhibition runs until July 27, 2024 at Friedrich-Ebert-anlage 25, 69117 Heidelberg.

With Johannes Nawrath we are experiencing a kind of renaissance of realism: contemporary themes and old master painting style. His pictures radiate restraint, which is rather untypical for acrylic paint, appear calm and show no tendency towards great drama. We only appear to encounter a cool view of the reality or realities that are re-staged in his paintings. And even when people are absent, they can still be felt with all their warmth and liveliness. Art that gently touches our soul.

BUJA – street art or painting? Or just both? BUJA continually surprises, irritates and challenges the viewers of his works. We encounter icons from art history, image quotations from our everyday lives, and characters that are not always apparent to us in well-known quotations. His works of art sometimes seem intellectually charged, sometimes banal and sometimes surprising and touching. Superficial clarity quickly turns into confusion as we approach the image's content and experience the artist's search for meaning in true values ​​in a rapidly evolving world. His curiosity and questions hold us captive and fascinate us in equal measure.

The gallery's opening times: Wed - Fri 2 p.m. - 7 p.m. and Sat 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. and also outside opening hours by telephone arrangement.

We look forward to your visit and the dialogue about the art.

With kind regards, Petra Kern
