Abstract paintings and photographs have moved into the Seeforum in Rottach-Egern: Brigitte Siebeneicher and Günter Unbescheid are showing their exhibition “Passions” there.
Rottach-Egern
- Since Sunday, the Rottacher Seeforum has been marveling at the exciting symbiosis abstract painting and artistic photography can form: In a double exhibition entitled “Passions”, Brigitte Siebeneichler shows a cross-section of her rich painterly work, Günter Unbescheid a small selection of his fascinating constructivist photographic art.
In his greeting, Rottach-Egern's Mayor Christian Köck was pleased that the badly shaken art industry was slowly but surely coming out of its paralyzed shock into a certain normality. Ernst W. Koelnsperger, art historian from Munich, presented Unbescheid in his laudation as an artist whose works “make the laws of gravity forget”, who is not concerned with the external form, which “awakens the pleasure of looking and discovering” and “ a new view of the world "and which enables a" free play of perspective ". He described Brigitte Siebeneichler as an artist whose painting is characterized by cheerfulness and liveliness and often extends into the lyrical. Her work is fed by sensual experiences and a synthesis of different sensory impressions."Let's dive into the two wonder worlds", invited Koelnsperger.
In 20 works in acrylic or gouache on canvas or paper, Siebeneichler designs a world of free forms and colors, apparently without limits and without laws. The largest picture in the exhibition measures an impressive two by ten meters, is called "Gipfelglück", is mainly blue and exudes feelings of freedom, airiness and weightlessness. The other exhibits also speak convincingly of the painterly freedom that it takes and that it exudes. “I can no longer paint small and small”, admits the painter, who comes from Munich and lives in Rottach-Egern. She has been indulging in abstract painting for 40 years and can refer to an extensive work. In recent years she has refined her gestural-impulsive painting style with greats such as Markus Lüpertz, Günter Förg and Jerry Zeniuk.
Günter Unbescheid, who lives in Jachenau, provides a total contrast to this with his eleven black and white photographs on display. He enriches his work with graphic elements and thus creates completely new and fascinating visual worlds. For example, from the honeycomb-like structure of the inner roof construction of the parish church of St. Josef in Holzkirchen, he creates a work with its very own reality, raised to a new level of photography, which questions traditional patterns of perception.
The solarization technology used, in which the gray value is reversed, creates an additional effect.
A chapel in the Eiffel from the series “Zugespitzt” may serve as a further example: The triangular-pointed shape of the entrance door was optically multiplied by means of multiple exposure and thus results in an impressive graphic-geometric image with innumerable fine gray levels.
The exhibition in the Seeforum can be seen daily from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. until Sunday, September 5.
Half of the proceeds from the sale will go to the “Kunststiftung Siebeneichler”, which Brigitte Siebeneichler founded herself, to support visual artists.
Everything from the region is now also available in our new, regular Tegernsee newsletter.
