The artist Heike Eiber from Munich exhibits her pictures in the Wolfratshausen district court.
Her "color kingdom" can be seen on the upper floor of the authority.
Wolfratshausen – Word has gotten around that art exhibitions regularly take place in the Wolfratshausen district court.
Thanks to Dietmar Galuschka.
Since retiring around ten years ago, the former managing director has made sure that artists have a public place to present themselves.
Now the artist Heike Eiber is presenting her “color kingdom” on the upper floor of the authority.
District Court of Wolfratshausen: Artist Heike Eiber exhibits her "colorful".
The pictures of the 62-year-old show that abstraction is not just abstraction.
The autodidact has developed her very own style, which looks like an artistic code of dots, lines and squiggles.
They are color compositions with the highest dynamics and contrasts.
For example, you can see two large acrylic canvas prints made up of innumerable, small-scale elements.
The two pictures are mainly kept in blue and red, but in their entirety unfold countless color nuances.
There are colors that like each other, that put you in a good mood.
"No more - no less" is the appropriate title.
A trilogy in blue catches the eye.
White squiggles seem to dance in a disorderly manner across the entire surface.
"Please take a close look and you will see that the motifs complement each other," explains the artist.
Eiber comes from Düsseldorf and has lived in Munich since 1994.
She started painting about ten years ago.
"It was a time of great professional stress," recalls the trained lawyer.
At the time, she was working as a convention manager.
In 2017 she drew a line under her stressful everyday work.

Artist Heike Eiber experiments with layers of paint: pictures in the Wolfratshausen district court
Her studio was previously in a garage.
The artist recently moved into one in the “Shaere” in Neu-Perlach.
"Colourful" is what she calls her place of work.
And her pictures are colorful.
She experiments with layers of paint, but also creates an implied form through abstract blobs of paint.
"I close the studio door and I'm alone with myself," she says.
Eiber is also the head of the artists' guild Berg am Laim in Munich.
She also organizes group exhibitions and manages the small gallery "lesARTs" in Deisenhofen.
"I think it's fantastic that in public space, like here in a courthouse, there is the opportunity to show art and thus make it accessible to people who don't go to the museum," she thanks Dietmar Galuschka for his commitment.
"It's a great gift for us artists."
