Surrounded by the Hubewald forest, with a view of Einbeck's rooftops, they let the colors dance on canvas and paper during a creative workshop weekend in June and tried out a wide range of creative possibilities in a playful and experimental way. The diverse results will be presented in the NEWCOMER KWS Art Lounge from August 8.
The weekend at the Waldhaus in the Borntal valley above Einbeck offered the opportunity to find time to paint away from everyday life. In the changing sunlight of the early summer days, the group enjoyed the seclusion of the edge of the forest and gave free rein to their creativity.
The task set by Professor Dorothee Weinlich from Hanover University of Applied Sciences and Arts was to move colors intuitively and freely onto the canvas or paper without a preconceived idea, ready for chance. She repeatedly motivated each individual with new suggestions and tips on materials and techniques to make the colors dance on the prepared surfaces in blobs, lines, brushstrokes, as areas and gradients, poured, sprayed, squeegeed.
Examples of works by great abstract painters such as Cy Twombly, Gerhard Richter, Helen Frankenthaler, Silvia Bächli and Jackson Pollock also sparked a passion for their own color compositions and ideas. The diverse results of this working experience in a special environment are presented in the NEWCOMER KWS Art Lounge.
The exhibition will be opened by Stephan Krings, Head of Global Marketing and Communication at KWS, on Thursday, August 8, at 6:30 p.m. at Tiedexer Straße 20 in Einbeck. Professor Dorothee Weinlich, Hanover University of Applied Sciences and Arts, will introduce the exhibition. John Deppe will provide musical accompaniment.
"Dance of Colors" can be seen in the NEWCOMER KWS Art Lounge until September 28.
