Beyond Landscape
Opening, Friday 8th March
with works by Xianwei Zhu, Christoph Pöggeler and Sonja Kalb

In  2024 the art world celebrates the 250th birthday of Caspar David  Friedrich, whose art continues to have a great influence on contemporary  art. "Beyond Landscape" will show an exciting dialog with the works by  three artists who deal with landscape painting and romanticism in their  own way:

Xianwei Zhu combines Chinese Daoist landscape painting  with modern abstraction. In homage to Caspar David Friedrich, Xianwei  Zhu integrates small human figures as wanderer and observer. The  Caspar-David-Friedrich-Zentrum, Greifswald honors Xianwei Zhu with its  current exhibition "Cloud Hands".

Christoph Pöggeler uses found  objects for his almost surrealist romantic paintings, for which he was  awarded the Rhineland Art Prize. His works can be found in renowned art  collections, such as the Tishman-Speyer Collection, whose collection is  also a permanent part of the MoMa New York.

Sonja Kalb's works  are predominantly abstract, capturing the landscape in a sensual way  with her color gradients - the feeling, the atmosphere is the focus. Her  works have been honored with the WAA Woman Art Award in cooperation  with UNESCO.
