Exhibition by Diana Achtzig and Rocco Barone
03.09.2022 – 30.09.2022
In the paintings of the internationally renowned artist, man and nature play a major role. “For me it should be a give and take: We humans must also never forget that nature can exist without man and not vice versa,” explains the maestro, quoting his compatriot Galileo Galilei: “Nature is inexorable and unchanging, and it is indifferent to her whether the hidden reasons and ways of her actions are understandable to man or not.”
A close connection to nature is also shown by Diana Achtzig in her paintings. “Man belongs to nature, but as the only living being he is also able to change it,” the Berlin artist explains and wonders, “But what if man changes so much that he merges with nature?” In addition to the natural original form, i.e. the nakedness of man, Achtzig also deals with the fusion between animal and human.
