The 73rd edition of the Tegernsee Art Exhibition features exciting new additions. Among them are young artists and a painter from China.
Tegernsee – "Art only becomes really beautiful when it doesn't just hang at home, but can be experienced by everyone." This is what Tegernsee's mayor Johannes Hagn said when he opened the 73rd Tegernsee Art Exhibition in the Old Switching House of the E-Werk. He recalled the exciting arc that the traditional show has taken since its start in the monastery - now grammar school - Tegernsee.

Lively art scene in the valley
Curator Eva Knevels pointed out the lively art scene that enriches and enlivens the valley and emphasized that without the help of co-organizers Hilo Fuchs, Kurt Gmeineder, Lisa Mayerhofer, Pia von Miller, Hans Schneider and Hans Weidinger, such an elaborate presentation would not exist. She also pointed out that this year five new participants have joined the established "classics" of the exhibition, which can certainly be seen as an enrichment. Marica Doll from Bayrischzell, for example, pleases with her powerful triptych "Ashes", which is actually made primarily of ash in different stages of combustion and thus color gradations. It's just a pity that it was not possible to exhibit the work coherently for technical reasons.
Promising novices
Also taking part for the first time and not only because of his youth a welcome blood refresher: Josef Köstlbacher with his fresh and innovative works in acrylic on canvas. Gunnar Matysiak from Weyarn is a grand master of drawing and filigree painting, which he impressively proves in three large-format works. Burkhard Niesel from Bayrischzell also contributes technically fine and harmonious depictions of nature in painting and drawing. And then there is the "novice" Zhao Bin from China. It shows two figurative works in oil on canvas, which stand out with their strict composition and pitch-black background.

The "old hands" from the Tegernsee Valley art scene show themselves in the usual quality and creativity. Ekaterina Zacharova, for example, can only show a third of her series "beach stories" due to lack of space, as the entire work has a width of 9.60 meters. In the typical, lively and powerful painting style of the Gmünder, it shows a lush beach scenery full of joie de vivre and summer sun.
Perfect technique, tongue-in-cheek humor
Priska Büttel presents her 18-piece ensemble "Wanderer" in the interesting technique of photo printing on fabric. In his three-part exhibit "Rahmadama" from the series "art of framing", Hans Reiser combines perfect painting technique with tongue-in-cheek humour.

My Area
Or the various manifestations of water landscapes: on the one hand, there are Hans Weidinger's calm lake paintings in contrast to Jürgen Welker's large-format paintings, which are reminiscent of churning and roaring seas. Lucia Kordecki's landscapes have something mystical, while Knevels provides tidy clarity with her photographic works in pink and purple. Irnberg, on the other hand, stands for innovative artistic expression with his technique of "inverse reliefs". The sculptors Richard Agreiter and Kurt Gmeineder are also represented in the outdoor area, namely on the Länd, on the Bruckerl and in the spa garden. With their sculptures, the two of them, as well as Wolfram-Maria Felder, Ursula Maren Fitz, Waltraud Milazzo and Otto Wesendonck, form a valuable counterweight to the paintings and make a decisive contribution to the success and coherence of the annual exhibition, as do the painters Klaus Altmann, Kathrin André, Heidi Barnsdorf, Hilo Fuchs, Kurt Gmeineder, Werner Gruss, Sibylle Guttenberg, Andreas Hars, Peter Keck, Riccardo Milazzo, Hans Schneider, Brigitte Siebeneichler, Sopi von Sopronyi and Heinz Stoever,
The exhibition can be seen until Tuesday, October 3, daily from 14 p.m. to 18 p.m. Admission is free.
