The photographer Hans-Christian Schink is one of the most internationally acclaimed photographers of his generation. An excerpt from his work will be shown in the Kunsthalle Erfurt! https://www.mdr.de/video/mdr-imersten-videos/c/video-485774.html

Metropolises all over the world, enlivened by many people - all without masks! The works of the artist Thitz have always represented a mixture of ideal and utopia, a brightly colored and cheerful world in a (slightly) improved today or a lively tomorrow. In view of the current situation, Thitz ‘works have become images of longing that inspire courage.

But - how do the paintings come to you at the moment? You can of course take a virtual look at the new works on our website. But that does not replace the presence: Art Karlsruhe does not take place this year and unfortunately we are not allowed to receive you in the galleries. That's why we came up with something.

In his early days as an artist, Thitz drove his work to interested audiences and organized mobile art exhibitions in Stuttgart, Berlin, Paris and New York under the motto “If the prophet does not come to the mountain, the mountain will come to the prophet”. We take up this wonderful idea and organize a roadshow!

An open-air exhibition will take place in Erfurt on Saturday, May 15th. The works will be installed from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the courtyard of the gallery and can be viewed and purchased there: Kleine Arche 1A, 99084 Erfurt.

Our Frankfurt gallery has large shop windows facing the street. We will be exhibiting the current works in the gallery on Sunday, May 16 from 2 to 6 p.m. and we will greet you outside. You can take a look or take a look from the street. If you like a work, we will take it outside and present it to you: Fahrgasse 17, 60311 Frankfurt am Main.

Thitz collectors in Baden-Württemberg can look forward to a very special service: If you purchase a painting from the current collection and would like to take a closer look for this purpose, we will come to you! Please make an appointment with us at galerie@rothamel.de or by phone on 0177 599 84 45.

The list of current work can be found below.
We wish you all the best and greet you warmly

Erasmus Schröter is dead. His departure is shocking and stunned. He has rubbed himself creatively on this world and has been humanly desperate over the last few years because of its development. His oeuvre is a great, multifaceted and exciting story without an end.

Erasmus Schröter was a master of juxtaposition and the absurd. The grandiose lighting of his bunkers as well as the Goth portraits of his “Contest” series compose the sublime / archaic and the fragile / absurd into weird two-chords. Again and again he went on excursions into the apparently familiar, the over-familiar that ended in unknown strangers. Let's wish him a good last trip and a safe arrival.

On the occasion of my last exhibition in Erfurt, I dealt intensively with the forest floor still lifes of the old Dutch, especially Otto Marseus van Schrieck. In my further research in the National Gallery, London and the Galerie Alte Meister, Dresden, I was also fascinated by the lush, almost forest-like, densely staged flower still lifes, especially by Rachel Ruysch and Jan van Huysum. I was interested in the moving compositions, the strong light - dark contrast and the eerie yet seductive mood of these perfectly painted flowers, leaves, grasses and insects emerging from the darkness.

The idea arose to combine these models with a new color scheme of the pastel and to stage it spherically in a virtual light. The second thought was to set the lush splendor of the models in motion with impulsive compositions. The flowers take on rocket-like shapes and futuristic dynamics are set in motion. The special luminosity of the pastel and its fascinating materiality come in harmony with the texture and color of the motifs. The mixed technique of pastel and watercolor combines a drawing approach with a painterly result.

Bible words you can touch
A film by Uwe Dieckhoff

The St. Aegidien Castle Church is one of the striking buildings in the city of Bernburg (Saale). The church dates from the 12th century. In 1751-52 the nave of the old Romanesque church was rebuilt in the baroque style, later changed several times and finally stripped of almost all jewelry. The church has been renovated since 2013.

Moritz Götze was entrusted with the artistic redesign. His pictorial program is based on Genesis and the New Testament. It covers the vaulted ceiling, the base zones of the walls and the altar. Götze decided on a permanent enamel painting. With this extremely complex technique, layers of mineral paints are used to paint metal plates and each layer is burned at 800 degrees. The colors melt into a glaze on the metal, cover it and preserve it for eternity. Then the emails are fixed precisely on the walls.

The barrel vault was completed in 2013 - clouds and stars on a blue background. The furnishing of the south and north walls of the eastern nave began in 2014, followed by the artistic redesign of the altar wall in 2015. The new altar was also inaugurated with a festive service on Easter Sunday 2016. The work continues continuously.
