“Bricolage” in GALERIE H22 in Wiesbaden

GALERIE H22 invites you to the vernissage of the exhibition “Bricolage”

on Friday, May 3rd, at 7:00 p.m., at Herderstraße 22 in Wiesbaden.

Collages, material images and objects by Annette Scharner, Amador Vallina and Annegret Hofmann

 

Jazz session by Franz Stüber (saxophone) and Dawie Bosch (guitar)

 

"Bricolage" loosely translates as tinkering or fumbling together, and describes a creative method of improvising with found materials. The everyday function of everyday objects, waste products or objects found in nature is changed through a creative process and takes on a completely different meaning in a newly created context.

 

The artist Annette Scharner works with natural pigments, sands and earths, which she collects from different regions, as well as photographs and sketches.

Afterwards, she surprises her viewers by creating connections with different, partly disused surfaces, unusual collage materials, gold leaf and "used" sandpaper.

The critical, sensitive, as well as humorous view of things reflects her worldview and determines the content of her pictures.

 

Amador Vallina's sculptures are also often made from found objects; dead things such as weathered wood, stones, bones, and dead plant parts, all metaphors for transience. But Vallina brings these elements to life and artistic presence in a creative act like a metamorphosis. This is how monsters, mythical creatures, and chimeras are created that seem to come from an archaic time.

In his material paintings he combines natural materials with sand, glue and paint to create earth-colored compositions of silent presence.

 

The exhibition is complemented by objects by Annegret Hoffmann. Several transparent sheets of film, painted, glued, sewn with fragments of writing, sketches, fabrics and photos, are attached to the top of Plexiglas boxes in such a way that open, moving, changing compositions are created. At eye level and depending on the viewer's position, the individual layers combine to form faces. Heads that open up and provide insights into a complex, fragmentary inner life. Into strange, seemingly empty, transparent eyes that do not look back.

 

At the vernissage on January 25th at 7:00 p.m., guests can expect not only fine art, but also a jazz session: saxophone and guitar by Franz Stüber and Dawie Bosch.
