Panta rhei, everything flows – this processuality, the change, the movement can be found in the artworks of Hans-Rudi Fischer. One sees forms that dissolve again and take on other forms. One sees contrasting colors that attract each other lovingly. Above all, however, one sees the constantly changing being.
If one compares Fischer’s paintings to a choir, each work of art has a certain pitch, a voice with which it communicates with the viewer. The many different voices in turn unite to form a crescendo that shouts out loud the joy of being.

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.
