The Paraguayan-German Cultural Institute in Asunción will open its doors to inaugurate the contemporary new art exhibition that unites three creative worlds, on November 23 at 6pm, with the presence of the German ambassador, Dr. Gordon Kricke.
The exhibition will be open to the public from November 23 to December 7, with extended hours: Monday to Friday from 8am to 7pm, Saturdays from 8am to 9:30pm, and closed on Sundays.
Under the auspices of the German Ambassador to Paraguay, Dr. Gordon Kricke, the exhibition will bring together the works of Gisel, Ursula and María Luzia, three artists who, following the ancient Japanese proverb “Do not fear change, fear stagnation”, decided to move their life and work from Europe to Paraguay.
New Art Exhibition: Three artists, one shared vision
Although they come from different cultural traditions – Germany and Switzerland – and from different artistic backgrounds, the three artists have in common their choice of Paraguay as their new home.
This change not only marked a turning point in their lives, but also in their creative process, taking their works to a new territory where abstraction, figuration and the sublime use of colour, form and light converge.
The exhibition will present a selection of works that appear at first glance to be of different styles, but which when integrated create a fascinating and harmonious unity.
Gisel’s paintings stand out for their virtuoso modulations of color, especially in the color areas that display a visual play full of tension and harmony.
On the other hand, Ursula invites us to a multisensory world with her works on canvas, which incorporate a wide variety of materials and techniques, generating textures and depths that invite reflection.
Finally, María Luzia’s profound works, which include paintings and objects, explore the sociopolitical evolution of Paraguay, capturing its transformative essence in every stroke and form.
New Art Exhibition: Between abstraction and figuration
One of the most notable features of the exhibition is how the works of the three artists navigate between abstraction and figuration.
In each piece, the creative use of color, shape and light invites the viewer to discover new interpretations as they observe and connect with the works.
The figurative becomes abstract, and abstraction becomes, at times, surprisingly figurative. This visual ambiguity invites the viewer to embark on a personal journey through a new artistic reality, which gradually reveals itself in the mind of each observer.
A unique opportunity to discover the artistic proposal of three talented creators who, like the Japanese proverb that inspires them, demonstrate that art, like life, must be in constant evolution.
