Miradas! – Look! – Schau! …art work of 20 Artists! Obras de 20 artistas!

Just right for the Christmas time I am invited to my 9th exhibition this year…..I am happy to participate in an exhibition that was set up by a truly dedicated man to art: Rafael Fernandez Pacheco. We met at the ART WALK Cómpeta (which will start this year at Easter Saturday!) and ever since, I am following Rafael on Facebook. Gives me a great insight into the art at the coast. It feels as if he is visiting and writing about two to three exhibitions a day – wonder when he ever sleeps.

I was so lucky to participate with 5 of my paintings. My artist colleague Anouk Slegers from Costa del Arte Collective participated as well.
Estaba tan feliz de participar con 5 pinturas.

A little Greenland Series – eine kleine Grönland Serie -Una pequeña serie de Groenlandia.

A look behind the curtain:
The transformation of an adventure to an artwork!

The journey to Greenland was very impressive. So I was intrigued to dip a bit deeper into my memories and see it all with the painters eyes. Here are the first results, more hopefully to follow! I had a lot of fun to convert my memories and photos into paintings. It was quite a new experience for me, as I usually don’t work with photos.. Here you can see, how I worked .

16.12.2019
Meanwhile some of the original paintings are sold. As this charming paintings have a lot of friends I decided to offer a Limited Edition of Fine Art Prints of the “Little pink house” series.  As a subscriber to my newsletter you will be the first to be informed about the release date. For four days you have the opportunity to shop the prints at special prices before it is made public via social media. 

Back to the artist journey……

This painting is a emotional memory, I started with.

Greenland Memories 1 Acrylic on canvas 81×65

Then I took a series of photos and worked on it…… click to enlarge!

I was fascinated by the atmosphere and the loneliness in a repellent nature….click to enlarge!

So the little pink house became a symbol of a place of shelter and warmth….click to enlarge!

Most of these paintings are very small, (25x35cm on paper) like the settlements are very small in a vast and wide landscape. This is the color story of one on the paintings. Click to enlarge

and this is how enormous the icebergs feel and are….

The Power of Art – How Paintings change your Room

A painting is a very powerful instrument to give spirit and life to your office or home. Depending on style, color and size it “makes”the room or it adds kind of statement, that you want to make. A painting as well reveals a bit about your personality. A painting in your room is what the eyes are in the face: they attract because they are speaking, they can hide something and they can reveal something about your mood, your spirit, your personality.

Two paintings, that “make” the entrance hall of an Apartment Hotel in Bonn

Wood 1 and Wood 2 were inspired by a holiday I spend on the Darß – a peninsular in the Baltic sea. Riding with the bicycle through the endless woods at the coast with its thousands of rather straight trees and the changing lights impressed me a lot.

 

Now these large paintings (145×160 cm and 160×145 cm) are the lead theme for  the design of this entrance hall of the Apartment Hotel Kaiser Karl in Bonn. They add some charme and character to the hall and they clearly give the mission to the visitors, that this is not a simple business place but a house with personality and individuality.

If you are in Bonn, feel free to visit the hotel. The staff will be happy to show you my paintings. You will find more in a permanent exhibition of paintings by me on the souterrain. I found this photos and hotel information at Hotel.com Kaiser-Karl-Apartmenthotel

Self discipline-Selbstdisziplin-autodisciplina

The summer invites me to leave behind some routines in order to create room for new things. As I have some time, paintings are all gone to two upcoming exhibitions, I decided to abstain from my most loved colors blue and turquois and from licorice. I had fallen in love with yellow – the experiment is thrilling but a true exercise in selfdiscipline – to abstaine from my familiar way of working is a challange. With licorice I was not very successful.

Der Sommer lädt mich ein, Routinen und Ziele zu verlassen und so Raum für Neues zu schaffen. Da ich Zeit habe – die Gemälde sind schon alle unterwegs zu zwei neuen Ausstellungen – nahm ich mir vor Abstand zu nehmen von meinen Lieblingsfarben blau und türkis und von Lakritz. Ich hatte mich in Gelb verliebt – das Experiment ist spannend aber auch eine Übung in Selbstdisziplin! Mit der Lakritz war ich nicht so erfolgreich 🙁 .

El verano me invita a dejar algunas rutinas para crear espacio para cosas nuevas. Así que decidí abstenerme de mis colores más queridos azul y turquesa y de regaliz. Me enamoré del amarillo -el experimento es emocionante pero un verdadero ejercicio de autodisciplina- abstenerme de mi manera familiar de trabajar es un desafío. Con regaliz no tuve mucho éxito.:-)

 

Art with the Scent of Rum/Arte con el Aroma del Ron

Coming home from the USA we rushed and packed the car with paintings again. I am participating in a group exhibition in the east of Malága, in Salobreña.

Thanks to SaloArte laFabrica for arranging this exhibition with 10 international artists!

Al llegar a casa desde EE. UU., Corrimos y empacamos el coche con pinturas nuevamente. Participo en una exposición colectiva en el este de Malága, en Salobreña. Se lleva a cabo en un lugar deslumbrante, en una fábrica de azúcar, un lugar enorme con muchos barriles de ron …. Estoy muy feliz de que todos los miembros de nuestro nuevo grupo de artistas fundados -Costa Del Arte Collective “- Annabel Keatley, Anouk Slegers y Lieuwke ¡Loth- están exhibiendo allí también! ¡Gracias a SaloArte laFabrica por organizar esta exposición con 10 artistas internacionales!

Exhibiting at the Art Walk Cómpeta / Exponer en el Art Walk Compéta

Getting ready, transportation of a lot of paintings, preparing the room that I shared with the photographer Nikki de Gruchy, meeting many fellow artists, for  four days receiving a lot of visitors from different countries and many good friends, walking through the narrow streets and on the steep stairs of Cómpeta:   what a lot of impressions to take in!  Now looking back I can say, it was a great event and I am very happy I was a part of it! And very lucky that I had a lot of support! Many thanks to Lieuwke Loth and the team to making this Art Walk Cómpeta possible! Now already looking forward to the Open Studios of Gaucín!

Preparándose, transporte de una gran cantidad de pintura, preparando la habitación que compartí con la fotógrafa Nikki de Gruchy, conociendo a muchos artistas, para cuatro dias recibiendo muchos visitantes de diferentes países y buenos amigos, caminando por las calles estrechas y en las empinadas escaleras de Cómpeta: ¡cuántas impresiones! Ahora mirando hacia atrás puedo decir que es un gran evento y estoy mucha suerte que podría asistir, mucha suerte, ¡eso tuvo mucho apoyo!¡Muchas gracias a Lieuwke Loth y al equipo por hacer este Art Walk Cómpeta posible!

Im Rückblick kann ich sagen: Es war eine großartige Veranstaltung und ich bin glücklich, dass ich dabei sein konnte! Und sehr dankbar, dass ich so gute Unterstützung hatte! Ganz großen Dank an Lieuwke Loth und ihr Team, dass sie diesen fantastischen Art Walk Cómpeta möglich gemacht hat!

Preparing for the Art Walk Compéta-Preparándose para el Art Walk Cómpeta

Since quite a while I am preparing for the Art Walk Compéta which will start on Easter Saturday! Orange and blue have been fascinating me! See the results in Cómpeta!

¡Desde hace un tiempo me estoy preparando para el Paseo del Arte de. Cómpeta  que comenzará el sábado de la Semana Santa! ¡Naranja y azul me han fascinado! ¡Mira los resultados en Cómpeta!

Think big – Denk gross – Piensa en grande \ Work in progress

I have worked on many small canvases and now I was really looking for a challenge : 140 x 160 cm! A format that hardly has room in my little studio! But a pleasure of freedom. And since long I could do it all from the very beginning!  I hope  I can exhibit this at ART WALK COMPETA in which I will be part of! Hopefully the room will be big enough! Hope to see you there (31.03./01.04.04 and 03./04.04.18)

He trabajado en muchos quadros pequeños y ahora realmente estaba buscando un desafío: ¡140 x 160 cm! ¡Un formato que apenas tiene espacio en mi pequeño estudio! Pero un placer de libertad. ¡Y desde hace mucho tiempo puedo hacerlo todo desde el principio! ¡Espero poder exhibir esto en ART WALK COMPETA en el cual seré parte! ¡Espero que la habitación sea lo suficientemente grande! Espero verte allí (31.03./01.04.04 y 03./04.04.18)

New York, New York – bathing in art! In Kunst baden!

I had 48 hours in New York. I dedicated them to art. I was very touched by the Calder exhibition in the Whitney Museum of American Art which displayed such a grace and poetry. I re-visited the MOMA, that has changed a lot since I saw it some years ago. A highlight was a big show of Anselm Kiefers most extraordinary works in the GAGOSIAN Gallery in Chelsea.

Just sharing some photos with you from the Whitney:

Ich hatte 48 Stunden für New York. Die widmete ich der Kunst. Ich badete in Kunst. Die Calder Ausstellung im Whitney Museum für amerikanische Kunst hat mich sehr berührt. Sie war so voller Grazie und Poesie. Ich besuchte nach vielen Jahren wieder das MOMA, das sich sehr erweitert hat seit meinem letzten Besuch. Ein Highlight war für mich die sehr große Ausstellung von vielen außergewöhnlichen Werken von Anselm Kiefer in der GAGOSIAN Galerie in Chelsea. Hier ein paar Fotos aus dem Whitney Museum:

And people…

The good old European still impress at the MOMA and the big show of Rauschenbergs works, of whom I liked most the small works which were attached zu each other with a zip.

Die eindrucksvollen Werke der guten alten Europäer beeindrucken im MOMA sowie die große Ausstellung von Rauschenbergs Werken. Von denen mochte ich am meisten die kleinen Werke, die mit einem Reißverschluss verbunden waren.

and people..

Anselm Kiefer at Gargosian Gallery:
Transition from cool to warm.
I was stunned! I loved his paintings, as I had only seen his huge, more political works with a lot of material.
Most of the paintings appeared to me like painted love letters. One hall showed many many big books (about 50×70 cm). A very unique presentation.
Verwandlung von kalt zu warm.
Ich war begeistert, beeindruckt. Ich fand seine Bilder großartig. Bisher hatte ich nur seine großen, sehr materiallastigen, politischen Werke gesehen. Die meisten Bilder in dieser Ausstellung erschienen mir wie Liebesbriefe. Ein Saal war gefüllt mit riesigen Büchern, die Aquarellbilder auf dickem Trägermaterial zusammenfassten (ca. 50×70 cm oder größer). Eine ganz besondere Ausstellung!

 

und natürlich NewYork,New York…….I love New York!

MassMoCa – visiting the largest museum of the U.S.A.

North Adams is a little town in the northern Berkshires, Massachusetts,  that lost all its industrie. The Museum of Modern Contemporary Art opend its doors about 17 years ago.  It proudly claims to host the largest museum of modern art in the USA, today even more as this summer it  open an additional part. “MASS MoCA is one of the world’s liveliest centers for making and enjoying today’s most evocative art.” (MassMoCa webside).  A huge fabric building was converted in a most exiting temple of modern art. I was fascinated and thrilled by the atmosphere of the building in combination with the diverse and partly gigantic exhibitions. Normally I get tired after a certain time spent in front of interesting  art, but here the possibility of having a lot of space , exploring a labyrinth of walk ways and rooms and most interesting art was advantageous and prevented me from  getting tired.

North Adams ist eine kleine Stadt in den Berkshires , Massachusetts, das all seine Industrien verlor. Das Museum of Contampory Art of Massachusetts öffnet seine Pforten vor ca. 17 Jahren und hauchte dem Ort dadurch neues Leben ein. Heute kann das MASSMoCa stolz behaupten, das größte Museum für moderne Kunst in den USA zu sein.  Ein riesiger industrieller Komplex aus dem 19. Jahrhundert wurde in einen außerordentlich aufregenden und faszinierenden Tempel moderner Kunst verwandelt. Ich war begeistert und animiert durch die wunderbare Atmosphäre dieses alten Fabrikgebeudes das in verwinkelten und weitläufigen Wegen von Halle zu Halle führt und den dort gezeigten, sehr interessanten Positionen und teilweise gigantischen Kunstwerken etwas ganz besonderes gibt. Obwohl sehr viel zu sehen und zu gehen ist, fühlte ich mich niemals müde. Die Art der Darstellung, die Leere zwischendurch tat gut und machte den Geist frei für das nächste Kunstwerk.

The Building in itself is a incredible with its industrial atmosphere from another century.

Allein das Gebäude ist eine Reise wert mit seiner Atmosphäre eines Industriegebäudes aus einem anderen Jahrhundert.

 

Are you really my friend?
 Tanja Hollander

This was a wonderful exhibition. Tanja Hollander visited in 6 years more than 400 of her Facebook “Frinds” all over the world and portrait them.  Fascinating to look at these portraits that are all taken in the same style but very different.

Bist du wirklich mein Freund? 

Dies war eine beeindruckende Ausstellung. Tanja Hollander besuchte in 6 Jahren mehr als 400 ihrer Facebook “Freunde ” und porträtierte sie in ihrem Zuhause, immer mit ernsten Gesichtern auf quadratischem Format. Es war berührend die Fotos zu sehen,  unterschiedlichste Menschen überall auf der Welt verbunden durch einen kleinen digitalen Faden die etwas über sich durch ihr Heim und ihre Pose ausdrücken.

Nick Cave

was the overwhelming artist at this museum. He filled a gigantic hall with artwork of an unbelievable dimension. The sheer volume of material that has been gathered is astounding — 16,000 wind spinners; millions of plastic pony beads; thousands of ceramic birds, fruits, and animals; 13 gilded pigs; more than 10 miles of crystals and more. What a experience to walk through or climb up to his artworks!

war für mich die beeindruckenste Ausstellung des Museums. Sein Kunstwerk füllte eine riesige Halle aus, ein Kunstwerk mit unglaublichen Dimensionen. “Das schiere Volumen der Materialien, die gesammelt wurden ist unglaublich – 16 000 Windobjekte, Millionen kleiner Plastik Kügelchen, tausende Keramikvögel, Früchte und Tiere, mehr als 14 km Kristalle und mehr.”(MassMoCa Webseite).Ein tolles Erlebnis durch die Kunstwerke zu wandeln oder zu ihnen hinauf zu klettern.

 

And much more most different kinds of art on display:

I loved especially the wonderful settings of exits:

This is a memory to very old times:

 

It was a really memorable day!

Photos from the Wood Land – Bilder aus dem Waldland

We spend our holidays in New Hampshire, at one of the thousand small lakes in the wood which covers about 95% ot this state. More the camera than the brushes is in action.

Wir verbringen Ferien in New Hampshire an einem der tausend kleinen Seen umgeben von Wald. Wald der eine Fläche von ca. 95% dieses nördlichen Staates bedeckt. Und dessen Motto heißt: Live free or die! Mit meiner Kamera bin ich wesentlich aktiver als mit den Pinseln und Zeichenstiften.

Miez – a hot summer day -un caluroso día de verano- ein heißer Sommertag

Today it’s real hot. Man, woman and cat are searching the coolness, cool tiles, the little breeze on the terrace. To hot to head for acrylic paints. Just sitting in a deck chair with the iPad sketch app, watching the cat.

Heute ist es wirklich warm. Mann, Frau und Katze suchen nach Kühle, den kühlen Fließen, der kleinen Briese auf der Terrasse. Zu heiß um die Acrylfarben zu benutzen, Nur im Deckchair sitzen , das iPad mit dem Scetch App dabei, die Katze beobachten.
