\nThe unifying element of this exhibition is the wood. In Ellen M\u00e4der-Gutz's work, it is the grown wood of a tree that defines the form of the sculpture that emerges from the trunk. It is the tension between the solid material wood and the filigree and light architecture of the blossoms and buds that Ellen M\u00e4der-Gutz thematises in her sculptures.
\nIn Irmgard Bornemann's work, it is the unusual combination of the surface structures of the impasto oil painting with the relief-like structure of the tree bark that creates great tension. The tree bark blends into the relief structures of the furrowed oil paint almost mimetically camouflaged. Where does the material-like bark structure begin, where does the painting end? Irmgard Bornemann thus transfers a creative concept from nature directly into painting.<\/p>\n

Irmgard Bornemann<\/strong>
\nA sessile oak tree was felled in the German landscape area of G\u00f6hrde. The wood from this tree was processed by 25 people (artists, craftsmen, musicians, therapists, etc.) in a variety of ways. The results will be exhibited at various unusual locations over the next few years.
\nIrmgard Bornemann was interested in the bark of this tree, which she collaged directly into her paintings. The crusty bark structures fit into her artistic concept of impasto painting. Her painting was originally inspired by a textured fabric wallpaper with velvet birds, which she collaged into her pictures. The motifs as well as the colour and texture of the wallpaper thus found their way directly into her paintings, which led to her impasto and monochrome application of paint. In her new paintings of bark collages, it is sometimes no longer possible to distinguish between the structure of the bark and the structure of the colour. The surface texture of her paintings is very exciting and leads to new visual experiences.<\/p>\n

Irmgard Bornemann: born in Berlin in 1952
\n2007-12 Studied at the Akademie f\u00fcr Malerei Berlin; graduated in 2012 and master student of Andreas Amrhein; 2010 founding member of the ROOT producers' gallery at Savignyplatz and its co-owner until 2014
\nLives and works in L\u00fcchow-Dannenberg.

\nEllen M\u00e4der-Gutz<\/strong>
\nFloral motifs are the leitmotif of Ellen M\u00e4der-Gutz's sculptures, \"...whereby it is never about the mere depiction of flowers and plants. Rather, the artist reduces the forms and structures of botanical events to the essentials in order to visualise the invisible lines of force of nature\" (Dr. Martin Feltes, Chairman of the Kunstkreis Cloppenburg e.V.). Ellen M\u00e4der-Gutz's colourfully glazed wooden sculptures achieve both an external and haptic concentration on the simple form through the intensive treatment of the wooden surface.<\/p>\n

Ellen M\u00e4der-Gutz:
\nBorn in Bergfelde in 1954; 1973-75 apprenticeship as a jewellery belt maker in J\u00fcterbog; 1975-77 evening studies in graphic design at the Berlin-Wei\u00dfensee School of Art; 1977-82 studies in sculpture at the Berlin-Wei\u00dfensee School of Art\/Diploma; 2000 training as a multi-media designer; 2001 teaching assignments at the Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences and at the Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig; since 2002 research and artistic assistant at the University of Vechta, where she has been a professor since 2017.
\nLives and works in Berlin and Vechta.<\/p>\n
