September 2019 - 1. März 2020 The multigenerational group exhibition - the birth years of the artists rank between 1958 and 1982 - shows figurative painting of Leipzig as well as the development of abstraction from figuration. In the past, painting from Leipzig has been largely viewed as male and figural. This multigenerational exhibition demonstrates that this is no longer solely the case. Its focus is not only placed on women artists with works by Katrin Brause a.k.a. Heichel, Henriette Grahnert, Franziska Holstein, Rosa Loy, Claudia Rößger, Julia Schmidt, Kristina Schuldt and Miriam Vlaming but it also does away with another commonly held belief. The exhibition features both the typical sort of figural painting for which Leipzig is known as well as the development of abstraction from figurality. Each of the artists confronts the themes of painting, figuration and abstraction in her own powerful manner and unique visual vocabulary. Individual works thus emerge from the seen, the photographed, the remembered, the dreamt or the invented – pictures created with the means of painting that in turn call the medium itself into question. The exhibition’s spectrum hence ranges from Rosa Loy’s figurative Leipzig-style works to the abstract manifestations in the works of Franziska Holstein. https://www.instagram.com/p/B2JHms9iTdV/?igshid=16831xt2vnz20
