Nature Studies
09.02. - 16.03.2024
Nature Studies brings together two gallery artists who dedicate their art to the contemplation of nature. Highly divergent in their approach, Schmückle delving into highrealism while the Gleiwitz’s images are deeply abstracted, their mutual engagementwith this subject speaks to their shared admiration for the natural world. Exploring theirindividual experience of the sublime, whether through flurries of fantastical flora or byunveiling the essence of plein air encounters, their art is focused on revealing nature‘s mysteries.
The exhibition will take this shared subject as a point to reflect on their individual artistic achievements. Each is a painter immersed in an aesthetic language, dedicated totheir own techniques. Both harness the energy of fantasy to evolve art works from nature, but nature amplified through human experience. The results are radically different.What is immediately clear when encountering their art is that their mutual fascinationwith our earthly landscape is an ever-generative subject.
