Rafal Bujnowski, Slawomir Elsner, Günther Förg, Rodney Graham, Olaf Holzapfel, Frank Nitsche, Markus Vater: Malerei I

The present group exhibition at the Schöttle Gallery shows seven completely different exponents of contemporary painting.  Both their motifs and their points of  emphasis differ totally, their only common ground being a manner of expression ranging from the formally aesthetic to the symbolically interpretative and descriptive.  The questions which they address are crucial: In what way can painting approach what is really visible? What concepts does it offer for visualizing our experiences of reality?
