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 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 an image means, you rarely get an explanation. Usually just a counter-question:
"What do you see in it?"
That's exactly what it's about for him. Not about prescribing to the viewer what they should feel or recognize. But about something happening. About an image touching, irritating, sparking curiosity, awakening memories, or triggering thoughts. What it triggers, each person decides for themselves.
His pronounced high sensitivity allows him to perceive many things more intensely: moods, sounds, details, undertones, and what goes unspoken. An ability that can be fascinating, but also needs 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 actually without a plan, his first canvas came into being. But while he painted, something happened. What started by chance became a passion. Painting became an outlet, and eventually a place where he arrived.
The vernissage invites you to immerse yourself in this world: different styles, motifs, stories, and emotions. Not everything will be explained. Much is to be discovered.
The evening is accompanied by the music that has repeatedly become 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 never actually painted there in the first place, but only came into being through you.
