"Caprioles" for the third time: After two Corona stops, house boss Ingrid Huber was happy about the "great honor" of finally opening the vernissage of Lotte Koch's exhibition in the foyer of the Holzkirchner Oberbräu.

Some of the 31 works presented were created by the Valley native, mother and neighbor of the well-known sculptor Tobel in Anderlmühle, only during the pandemic.

In addition to the lively exhibition leitmotif "Caprioles" from 2020, the most impressive is the recently created "Human Rights" - although this globe falls out of the frame of the other paintings in the depressing full fire.

They deal with a variety of structures in a wide variety of colors and perspectives.

Right at the entrance, the three versions of "Hommage an S." look like oversized, loose knitted stitches in black and gray tones, which become very lively on closer inspection.

And are the three "weaves" much finer or much coarser, which were put together from threads, sticks of wood or felt fibers and shine in delicate, clear colors?

Very specific impressions can be found of the play of colors exaggerated in several pieces: reeds or a stone roof can be so colorful.

The "lava heat" can be felt in sharp, glowing fragments as well as the "lava cold" in blistered, cool-toned structures.

Lotte Koch also finds surprising details on the torn edges of stacked kitchen surface remnants or the supposedly smooth edges of various stone slabs from "Plattenlager" and "Stlager".

In the three "Mangfall" versions, it is not the river itself that plays the leading role, but rather its multicolored souvenirs made of leaves, driftwood and reed fragments, whose transience Koch emphasizes with delicate outlines on the white painting ground.

"We were there," said Koch's grandsons Flora and Emil Ahlhelm in their affectionate and humorous laudatory speech at the vernissage about the shared experience of collecting impressions with grandma again and again, on walks along the Mangfall as well as on trips with the grandparents.

They also encountered some of the entrances and passageways or the house facades in Italy, Iran or Azerbaijan that Koch assembled into twelve, eight or six smaller concrete or abstract pictures in her “sketches” sheets.

In this way, Flora and Emil emphasized in their dialogue that grandmother not only sees special doors, but also knows how to open them.

Even when she wasn't feeling inspired, she 'portrayed' her studio in a moving snippet of her workplace as a 'process' or in an image of her 'palette'.

Something as mundane as a wooden spoon can also be used as a motif – when the wooden spatulas present their upper edges in a sales offer and fascinate with the play of the different light reflections.

The two grandchildren also revealed in their speech that the grandmother first had to be encouraged by her children to show her painted observations in exhibitions.

How good it is that her children were able to convince Lotte Koch can be seen in Kultur im Oberbräu until the end of September, on Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., Thursdays and Fridays from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and on days with evening events from 5 p.m.

The artist

Lotte Koch was born in Unterhaching and studied at the Academy for Graphic Arts in Munich from 1960 to 1963.

From 1970 to 1993 she worked as a freelance designer and then began to deal with painting.

Since 1994 she has taken part in exhibitions, not only in Valley, but also in Holzkirchen, Weyarn, Rottach-Egern, Miesbach and at the art exhibition in Bayrischzell.

Koch also presented her works as an individual artist in the Kubiz in Unterhaching, in the Agatharied Hospital, in Schrobenhausen and Heiligenberg as well as in the painter's village of Worpswede, in Dortmund, in Tuscany, in the district office in Munich and twice in the Federal Patent Court in Munich.
