Miriam Vlaming

 

Image

 

In the exhibition "You 're wearing a mask", starting on March 1st, we are showing for the first time works by Miriam Vlaming. In her paintings, quotations of fairy tales and myths meet real elements. The arrangements fuse accomplished and almost abstract forms with concrete themes and create a space between reality and dream. The works, which are always painted in tempera, attain their magic effect through the independent application of colour and send the beholder's regard on a profitable journey.

 

 

In the exhibition "Rink & Vlaming - Malerei" Miriam Vlaming shows new works together with her former professor Arno Rink (Hallen am Wasser, opening May 2nd).
