When painting looks upon itself
The works by Paola Neumann and Jörg Bürkle are examples of actual painting in the proper sense – painting, which refers to nothing but itself. It’s all about the colour, the canvas, and the impact the finished product has. These artworks simply don’t want to imply more than being art and thus develop a subtle but decisively discernible effect. Even if at first sight the works are not at all appealing, the space in which they are displayed emanates a feeling of peace and quiet, a feeling of “resting in itself”. Only at a second or third glance do these paintings reveal their incredible perfection and beauty.
Paola Neumann’s aquarelles, which one can only be viewed upon request, are remarkable: their colour intensity is untypical for aquarelles and normally only attained by acrylic or oil paintings. Provided one is prepared to get involved with the works shown, the exhibit is highly recommendable.
