DYNAMIC DUALITY

MICHAEL HITSCHO

Artist talk from approx. 20:15
Both artists will be present

MARIO DALPRA

Dalpra's ability to transform everyday observations into profound, aesthetically intense compositions is evident in both art forms. His works convey emotions and narrative elements ranging from humorous to dramatic scenes. Despite his subjective handwriting, the formal composition remains in the foreground and creates a dynamic connection between graphic and painterly elements.

His artistic work, influenced by his travels and exposure to different cultures, results in a unique synthesis of form, color and content. Dalpra's works invite the viewer to immerse themselves in a world beyond the everyday, offering new perspectives and insights. This evolution of his style reflects his openness to different cultural influences and challenges the viewer to rethink their own perceptions.

Dalpra's meticulous attention to detail and his blend of traditional techniques and contemporary themes make his art both timeless and relevant. His use of bright colors and intricate patterns enhances the visual appeal and adds depth to the narratives. Through his art, Dalpra creates a dialog between the past and the present and encourages exploration of the human experience. To summarize, Dalpra's artistic work is proof of his extraordinary ability.

MICHAEL HITSCHOLD

Michael Hiltschold has been active as an artist for over 20 years and produces impressive steel sculptures in his forge. His art aims to trigger a cognitive process in the viewer by breaking and transcending conventional notions of space and time. These sculptures are snapshots of dancing gestures that capture grace in the light of eternity.



The forms of his steel sculptures are created in the process and are influenced by his momentary feelings and inspirations. The works are not only an expression of his inner world, but also a reflection of the natural and cultural environment of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, where he lives and works. The connection to his adopted homeland is reflected in the organic yet structured nature of his sculptures. His works are currently on display at the ALRov MamiLLa Municipal Gallery in Jerusalem.



At the same time, Hiltschold presents photographic essences of his sculptures reproduced on wood, as seen here. These digitally generated works offer a universal representation of his steel sculptures, which can only be experienced from one perspective, and expand the visual experience through the contrast of photography and steel.

Virtual tour through the exhibition

 

Maria Sainz Rueda

Maria Sainz Rueda, an artist with Spanish roots who grew up in Walldorf, reflects a hidden world in her painting. Her parents, Spanish migrant workers, strived for financial security, which stands in contrast to her own path as an artist. The decision to live with art was not a one-off decision, but an ongoing process. She studied painting at the HGB in Leipzig and was lucky enough to study with the renowned artists Arno Rink and Neo Rauch. They shaped her way of working and thinking in painting. The landscape plays a central role in her current works, which are exhibited in the gallery. The landscape in her paintings is ambiguous, misleading and a projection surface that raises more questions than it answers.

Diego Palacios

Diego Palacios' paintings reveal different levels between consciousness and subconsciousness. Light, shadow, transparency and multicolor create this impression. Palacios' old-masterly approach is broken up by contemporary subjects and digital image processing elements.

The focus is on people. Clothing and gestures are reminiscent of times gone by, but shimmering color effects and distortions break through this familiarity and create a connection to contemporary aesthetics. Palacios' pictures provoke us to question our viewing habits.
