LEIPZIG, GERMANY - NOVEMBER 11: Artist Theresa Rothe on November 11, 2024 in her studio in Leipzig, Saxony, Germany. Theresa Rothe (1990) works as a visual artist in Dresden and Leipzig. In 2013, she began her studies at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts, graduating in 2019 with a diploma and in 2022 with a master’s degree in the sculpture class of Prof. Wilhelm Mundt. In 2019, she received the Saxon State Scholarship and has realised works for exhibitions in Germany and abroad. Her artistic works combine sculpture, installation, drawing/painting and performative elements. In the process, she reflects and questions the curiosities of everyday life, animal observations or even the voyeuristic gaze in her examination of her own body and various materials. Dream images and fantasies serve as the basis for her exploration of the unconscious. She tries to create a world of its own through a symbolic and pictorial language, which otherwise lies hidden. She combines these nuances of surrealistic and personal experience in her works to invite the viewer into a field of tension that is composed of the grotesque and play, thesis and antithesis, dream and reality, inside and outside.

SCHWEINFURT, GERMANY - SEPTEMBER 08: Artist Lisa Wölfel in front of her work ‚Ich passe in die Halle rein‘ (I fit into the hall) on September 08, 2024 at Kunsthalle Schweinfurt, Schweinfurt, Bayern, Germany. Lisa Wölfel studied fine art/painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg. She was awarded her ‘Meisterschülerin’ under the tutelage of Prof. Thomas Hartmann in 2015. She now lives and works in Leipzig. Andrea Brandl director of the Kunsthalle Schweinfurt describes Lisa Wölfel’s Art as follows: ‘It is hard to resist the predominantly large-format paintings by the young artist Lisa Wölfel: They are expressive, colourful, brittle, sensitive, intimate, powerful and oscillate between abstraction and figuration, closeness and distance, they touch and yet keep their distance. And they show a subject that is rarely found in contemporary art, with the exception of sculpture: the human image. ‘ Her work can presently be viewed until the 15th of September at Kunsthalle Schweinfurt, 6. Triennale für zeitgenössische Kunst in Franken.

LEIPZIG, GERMANY - NOVEMBER 11: Artist Michael Eppler in front of his work "permanent vacation" on November 11, 2024 in Leipzig Germany. The work "permanent vacation" has been realized during his stay at Schwalenberg Scholarship in August 2024. Michael studied fine art at the Academy of fine arts in Karlsruhe under the tutelage of Professor Corinne Wasmuht. He received the graduate scholarship of the federal state of Baden-Württemberg and moved to Leipzig. His work has been awarded and displayed multiple times across Germany. Michi on his work: I approach art from multiple angles. In experimental artistic research. In almost journalistic landscape drawings. And in humorous, drawings, and essays. As a student, I invented a firmly drying foam-color. I like to witness the transition of the foam into a sustainable object that, strictly speaking, should not exist by the laws of physics. To recover from the studio, I go outside and draw every day subjects, rather supermarket parking sides on Sundays. Here is something to be found that's you can't buy during the week: total silence.

MAGDEBURG,GERMANY- MARCH 17: Artist Christoph Ackermann on March 17, 2023 at the Q.Hof (Kunst und Handwerker Hof) in Magdeburg's Buckau district, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. Christoph Ackermann began his artistic career in his early teens with his initial form of self-expression being Graffiti art. From this starting point he has expanded his repertoire becoming increasingly involved with abstract contemporary art, graphics, calligraphy and photography. Numerous exhibitions have accompanied his career, such as the Kunstmuseum unser Lieben Frauen, the MDR Funkhaus or the Kunst/Mitte in Magdeburg, the Stroke Art Fair-the leading fair for new contemporary art in Munich, Dortmund and Portugal. After graduating as a designer, he established himself as a self-employed freelance Artist from 2004 onwards working in his chosen fields of art, photography and graphic design. Since the late 1990s he has led workshops and art projects in schools, youth institutions and universities on the topics of art, urban art and photography. He was admitted to the Professional Association of Visual Artists Saxony-Anhalt by the admission committee on 5 April 2022, along with 17 other artists.Ackermann’s Art work and methodology is based on a bipolar, philosophical approach: "Apollonian-Dionysian", which describes two opposing character traits of man and uses the qualities attributed to the Greek gods Apollo and Dionysus. Apollonian stands for form and order and Dionysian for intoxication and an urge to create that transcends all forms. In 2016, together with Magdeburg artist Frank Borisch, he was one of the first tenants to move into the Q.Hof (Kunst und Handwerker Hof) in Magdeburg's Buckau district, thus founding the studio community in the "Q.", which has been working, organising exhibitions or curating in its studios there for 7 years.

Her work has been described as follows: ‘Rahn's works at the interface between sculpture, installation and photography. Rahn builds rooms, dwellings. The works are first assembled from found pieces of wood or metal, then often cast in reinforced concrete, the material of modern mass architecture. Then the objects go on journeys, into industrial landscapes, airport runways, onto roofs, into the emptiness of the Intertidal zone. They become non-places in a real landscape.’

Between 2011-13 he was additionally a Meisterschüler of Neo Rauch. Schade has had numerous solo and group exhibitions. His Gallery listing explains his Art: His work examines the nature of the picture and the pictorial space. In sceneries that suggest stage settings, Schade unfolds places that seem to be both models and theatrical situations, imagining a wide spectrum of very different architectures and props that invite the beholder looking at his canvases to explore a private universe. His works are not about reality, he avails himself of its movable pieces and rearranges them to create a self-contained world. Carefully controlled lighting reminiscent of baroque art illuminates the mostly architectural shapes and structures. Classical landscape painting encounters geometric forms in Schade’s work whose timeless quality renders them universally
legible.

Under the name Eselohr. She works as a freelance book art educator in a team with Marianne Nagel at schools, socio-cultural institutions and the OdB. In Anne’s own words: 'Book art gives me the opportunity to explore what unsettles / irritates me.
Touch is part of the starting point of my artistic work. Something has to touch me, emotionally and spiritually, to get started. This touch can be contradictory - it can be pleasant, it can also hurt. I often start the creative process with restrictions. This gives me a structure within which to move. It is a delicate balance between order and chaos, intention and intuition. Each step in the process is part of the sequence of works, from drawing to model making to the finished artist's book. After thinking visually with the pencil, I change the material and this change changes the idea. There is a kind of building tension from which what I want to say grows. Once an artist's book is physically complete, the touching continues - in the haptic experience and in letting oneself be touched.'

It is a delicate balance between order and chaos, intention and intuition. Each step in the process is part of the sequence of works, from drawing to model making to the finished artist's book. After thinking visually with the pencil, I change the material and this change changes the idea. There is a kind of building tension from which what I want to say grows. Once an artist's book is physically complete, the touching continues - in the haptic experience and in letting oneself be touched.'

From Malo Moray Webpage: Malo Moray is an improviser, composer and upright bassist from Leipzig, Germany. His work mainly gravitates towards free improvisation and sonic exploration of the human existence. In a very curious and connective way he funnels his own sound of avantgarde Music which he refers to as Ambient Kraut Jazz. With his improvisation collective Malo Moray & His 'Inflatable Knee' meanders in multi-layered, unusual improvisations with double bass, tapes, self-built electro-acoustic instruments, drums, electronics, winds, strings, ... far out into the unheard cosmos. The sound of Inflatable Knee combines Kraut Rock and experimental avant-garde, embracing them with meditative ambient. This innovative and playful project is always reminiscent of Sunn O))), Brian Eno, Faust, Sqürl or Swans. In 2022 the Inflatable Knee toured in duo to septet lineups in renowned jazz & experimental venues in Germany and UK.

In 2014 he completed his Postgraduate studies with Prof Thomas Rug again at Burg Giebichenstein, Halle (Saale). Schuster' Artists statement reads as follows: 'The genome of my art is the 90s and the years, a once analogue world and the digital revolution. Experiences and pop-cultural products fed into me in my childhood and youth remain eternally linked to me with lightness and unclouded play. An inner lightness, which can be found in almost all my pictures, stands in contrast to the reflection on a society whose capitalist structure is characterised by unfair hierarchies, consumption, greed for profit and the pursuit of growth. I ask myself how these symptoms influence our well-being, feelings and longings. I notice in myself and my fellow human beings a strong need for places of retreat, this determines my art, as well as an underlying optimism: everything goes on, the world is unfair and partly spoiled, but beautiful plants grow even on dung. There are no feel-good images with a clear narrative - but rather areas of friction between paradise and dystopia.'

Diego Palacios loves the technique of the old masters. He uses some of these old techniques, such as the Apelles palette, to create paintings with a contemporary flavour. He loves mixing modern technologies with painting, including 3-D scanning, video art and recently, artificial intelligence. He is active in Leipzig, where he works and exhibits among other locations around the world. His themes often deal with intimacy and alienation, and his influences range from Jordaens to Alexander Tinei, to Lucian Freud.

NAUMBURG, GERMANY-MARCH 26: Metallbildhauer Ronald Knoll with his Art work on March 26, 2024 in Naumburg, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. Ronald Knoll's Artists philosopy: "The greatest triumph of humanity will be to have overcome materialism and polarised thinking. " "The imagination of the individual is not the measure of what is absolutely possible. With a few exceptions!" The pivotal point of my art is people's consciousness and playing with their imagination. It is about perception and the divinity that appears through the universe in everything that surrounds us. As an artist, I experience the awakening of higher consciousness in myself and in the people around me, and I give everything a steely form and expression. The transformation of consciousness becomes clear in criticism and self-criticism. Beauty of form, design and ergonomics unite in some works of art. Are they a means to an end or pure exhibition material? The pure abstraction away from the figurative can also be experienced in my sculptures. They stimulate the viewer's imagination. Self-development and the pursuit of realising the higher worlds is my goal. Accompany me on this path. Come with me on a journey into consciousness. I look forward to everyone who dares to cross their boundaries into a new time.

She lives and works as a freelance artist in Leipzig. Since 2019 she has been working intensively with reverse glass painting and developing new techniques and forms of expression using glass as carrier material. Her Artist Statement reads: 'We increasingly perceive the world through digital windows. Painting – art – is displayed to us behind smooth, backlit screens. I use this phenomenon as a starting point for my work. Bringing the digital back into an analogue work process. The glass enhances the luminosity of the colors, as well as the surfaces and the lights of our monitors. My glass plates are painted on the back. I peel shapes out of the material. It is an interplay between engaging with the intuitive - the movement controlled by the body and the controlled cropping of the colors and the glass. A work is usually not created as the implementation of a concrete idea, but rather in the editing process - as a dialogue with the material. I work “out of the glass”. as carrier material.'

LEIPZIG, GERMANY - JULY 28: Artist Eliane Diur in her studio on July 28, 2024 in Leipzig, Saxony, Germany. Eliane Diur initially studied graphic design, but soon realized that she felt more drawn to the visual arts. Here she had the opportunity to pursue her interest in taking a closer look at interactions between individuals and examining the subtle misunderstandings between people on canvas. In her work, various collected image references merge into new motifs by recombining gestures, facial expressions and shapes. She mostly works in the areas of painting, drawing or screen printing. Her images explore human wanderings and confusions, but often not without a pinch of levity.

LEIPZIG, GERMANY- APRIL 30: Artist Marlet Heckhoff in her Studio in Leipzig, Saxony, Germany on April 30, 2024. Marlet heckhoff studied painting and graphics at the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig, in the class of Prof Annette Schröter (diploma) and a Master student in the class for installation and space with Prof. Joachim Blank at the HGB Leipzig, graduating in 2019. She has received and achieved numerous scholarships and exhibitions. Her abridged Artists Statement reads: Structures of all kinds play a major role in my artistic work. Lines, surfaces, arcs and the relationship between different graphic forms usually form the starting point for a new image. My ideas are often based on impressions from my immediate urban surroundings: architectural constructions, industrial structures, urban contexts. I am inspired by the urban landscape and am fascinated by the complicated geometries and structural frameworks that characterise our surroundings. Simplifying and abstracting the urban density of large cities is a great motivation for me to paint. But digital influences also make their way into my analogue painting: moving graphics on LED advertising screens or animated games that creep into my Instagram feed. I try to use the means of painting to take up traditional, haptic structures as well as new, playful, digital tendencies and combine them on the canvas. Through abstraction, I deconstruct these architectural and digital elements, allowing them to transcend their original purpose and become channels for emotional resonance. Both bold and delicate lines form the backbone of my work. They trace the contours of urban structures, creating a sense of movement, rhythm and tension. The juxtaposition of straight lines and gestural marks gives my compositions a dynamic quality, reflecting the harmonious yet chaotic nature of urban environments.
