Ulrike Bröcker paints a landscape that she feels deeply and to which she has developed a close relationship. She allows her sensitive visual experiences and her intense emotional experience in and from nature to flow directly into her brushes and creates atmospherically impressive landscapes in which landscape zones dissolve into horizontal bars and waves of color. She has succeeded in reinventing Romanticism in its best sense.

100 monumental sculptures by Jo Kley can be found in public spaces in Germany and 25 other countries. What's exciting about Jo Kley's sculptures is how movement and energy materialize in the stone. We know the shapes from ancient times. Ilka Schneider is a virtuoso draftswoman who knows how to counteract every black brush gesture with a confident and at the same time sensitive drawn line, who invents one figure after another and tells stories after stories.

In the exhibition, steel sculptures by Manuela Tirler are in a dialogue with abstract oil paintings by Christoph Primm, a painting that has grown and condensed over many layers. Manuela Tirler has already attracted attention with numerous exhibitions and awards. Her works fascinate by a close, but alienated relationship of art and nature and by the impression of lightness, which stands in contrast to the heaviness of the material used.
