Painting from Frankfurt/Rhine-Main
Under the motto "The dead live longer", it can be stated that painting is not at all "dead" or no longer in vogue, but quite the opposite: more than half of the exhibiting galleries are showing painterly positions at the Saisonstart (September 6 - 8) and the resulting diversity in both the painterly and the depicted invites you on a true journey of discovery.
Friederike Walter, RESONANCE, September 6 – October 1, Galerie Maurer
On this journey, you could start with regionally trained artists, for example. Friederike Walters New pictures in the Maurer Gallery show rooms that seem to break away from conventional architectural certainties, created through transparent colors consisting of many wafer-thin layers of glaze. Like her, Anja Hantelmann, who is exhibiting at Das Bilderhaus , also studied at the HfG Offenbach. Hantelmann presents a group of paintings inspired by her preoccupation with circling vultures.

Michael Pfrommers Painting at Philipp Pflug Contemporary explores the mutual independence and obstinacy of pictorial grounds and motifs, characteristic of the work of the Städelschule graduate. The Greulich Gallery is showing the young painter Stella Winter. The artist, who studied at the art academy in Mainz, paints almost hyperrealistic pictures, whose perfection she breaks up with empty spaces and surprising painterly inventions. Paintings and screen prints of the "eye girls" by Städelschule graduate Kerstin Lichtblau are on display at the off-space Be Poet .
New discovery by Galerie Greulich: raw, wild, hyperrealistic still lifes by painter Stella Winter.
