Vernissage: ALEXANDER LINDENHOFER

He could tell stories that would be enough for a thriller. For a horror film. An action film. A drama. A tragedy. And for countless comedies.

All of this has shaped him. It has changed how he perceives people, situations, and the world. Perhaps that is precisely where the depth of his images lies.

Because when you ask him what a picture means, you rarely get an explanation. Usually just a counter-question:

"What do you see in it?"

That is exactly what matters to him. Not prescribing to the viewer what they should feel or recognize. Rather, that something happens. That an image touches, irritates, sparks curiosity, awakens memories, or triggers thoughts. What it triggers, each person decides for themselves.

His pronounced high sensitivity allows him to perceive many things more intensely: moods, sounds, details, nuances, and what goes unsaid. An ability that can be fascinating, but also requires an outlet.

He found this outlet five years ago, completely unexpectedly, in painting.

During a renovation, a large wall remained empty. So a picture was needed. Without training, without experience, and really without a plan, his first canvas came into being. But as he painted, something happened. What was chance became passion. Painting became an outlet, and eventually a place where he arrived.

The opening invites you to immerse yourself in this world: different styles, motifs, stories, and emotions. Not everything will be explained. Much is meant to be discovered.

The evening is accompanied by the music that is also repeatedly part of his creative process while painting and inspires him. Two songs will be performed live by singer Kittie.

An evening awaits you with art, music, a good glass, and conversations that may become just as unexpected as the images themselves.

And perhaps you will discover in one of the works something that was not originally painted there at all, but was created only through you.
