Marita Czepa is concerned with the preservation of nature and with it the preservation of human existence on this earth. In her works, she thematises the threat posed to nature by mankind. As a consequence of this attitude, she has not bought any more paper in the past four years, but has worked her beguiling realistic drawings and colourful watercolours exclusively on found or used materials: Paper bags, torn posters, cardboard boxes found on the street, old and used envelopes, old index cards, etc. This combination has resulted in haunting works that are characterised above all by their artistic virtuosity. Ute W\u00f6llmann transfers structures in nature into painterly and graphic structures. She is interested in the emotional excitement that observing nature can trigger in people. Inconspicuous starting points in nature, such as the view of undergrowth and meadows, are intended to achieve a similar excitement in the viewer through the beauty of the painting, as occurs, for example, when watching sunsets. During the first \"ROOT on the road\" tour, Ute W\u00f6llmann also began to paint plein-air with 2m x 1.60m oil paintings directly in front of nature. She realised that the visual density of direct observation on location can be translated into a painterly density. However, the paintings are completed in the concentrated atmosphere of the studio. Irmgard Bornemann lives and works in Dannenberg in the Wendland region. She has always captured the willows of her homeland in countless sketches. The theme of the tree can be found in her latest paintings in the form of bark collages directly in the impasto oil painting. In doing so, she confronts the crusty structure and, in part, the colourfulness of the natural bark material with the artificial colourfulness of a cadmium gel. With the impasto colour body of the oil paint, she imitates the physicality of the tree bark; it is sometimes no longer possible to distinguish between the structure of the bark and the structure of the paint. Where does painting end? Where does relief begin? The surface texture of her paintings is very exciting and leads to new visual experiences. Juliane von Arnim devotes most of her work to nature in the form of landscape paintings or views of plants. She traces the unusual in the familiar. Strange colour and light moods are the hallmark of her pictures. The image details and lighting of the rural scenarios, deserted landscapes and places appear unusual, especially as her attention is primarily focussed on special buildings and lonely farmsteads, which convey a peculiar atmosphere of tense tranquillity. Margit Bu\u00df works with alcyd resin paints, acrylic paints and resin. She works processually with the independence and momentum of the colours. In countless experiments, she has discovered how they react against and with each other. Every new experiment in the studio is noted down so that it can be called up when needed. In this way, she is able to repeat exactly what was once created by chance in order to make it appear as chance again in the painting. She initially lets the colour have its way and then lets it work for her. The texture and production method of a painting, the materiality of the colour substances, are the focus of her attention. The high-gloss, smooth surface of the painting forms an exciting contrast to the bubbling streams of colour and makes us aware of the elemental force and sensuality of colours. Christoph Primm's strength lies in the tension between colour and structure. He layers undiluted colour to create complex compositions and makes the painterly itself the object of contemplation. At first glance, his paintings are gestural abstractions. At second glance, the paintings are also symbolic. The open pictorial forms activate the experience of the colour presentation and the painting process. Sabine Kybarth brilliantly unites intense informal and gestural painting on the one hand and precise realistic painting on the other to create a new artistic standpoint. She has found much more than just the union of the two poles by introducing a new protagonist: Our consumer and commodity world with its seductive displays. At first it was only the viewer's gaze through the rain-soaked shop windows into the constructed scenery, until in the end the mannequins themselves become active in a new role as representatives of the people in these pictures.<\/p>\n<p>The gallery was already on the road with ROOT in 2018 and 2014. 2018 on the trail of the Castor transports in Wendland. The artists organised plein-air painting campaigns in front of the salt mine in Gorleben and in the Elbe valley floodplains. In 2014, they travelled through the Schorfheide nature reserve in the Uckermark region in search of the planned power lines from the North Sea to southern Germany. The artists also met with representatives of local citizens' initiatives on site. The events attracted a great deal of interest from the press.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/staging.projekt18-domain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/EK_Galerie_ROOT_on_the_Road-2019.pdf\" class=\"pdfemb-viewer\" style=\"\" data-width=\"max\" data-height=\"max\" data-toolbar=\"bottom\" data-toolbar-fixed=\"off\">EK_Galerie_ROOT_on_the_Road-2019<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Root is back on the road \/\/ 18 - 22 June 2019<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7049,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5039","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ausstellungen"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/galerie-root.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/root-on-the-road-1.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/galerie-root.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5039","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/galerie-root.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/galerie-root.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galerie-root.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galerie-root.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5039"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/galerie-root.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5039\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7064,"href":"https:\/\/galerie-root.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5039\/revisions\/7064"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galerie-root.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7049"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/galerie-root.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5039"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galerie-root.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5039"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/galerie-root.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5039"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
