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 start of the season (September 6 - 8) and the resulting diversity in both the painterly and the depicted invites you on a true journey of discovery.
Friederike Walter, RESONANZ, Sep 06 - Oct 1, Galerie Maurer
This journey could start with the regionally trained artists, for example. Friederike Walters new paintings in the Maurer Gallery show spaces that seem to detach themselves from conventional architectural certainties, created by a transparent coloration of many wafer-thin layers of glazed paint. Like her Anja Hantelmann, who works in the Gallery Das Bilderhaus gallery, also studied at the HfG Offenbach. Hantelmann is presenting 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 Kunsthochschule in Mainz, paints almost hyper-realistic pictures whose perfection she breaks up with empty spaces and surprising painterly inventions. Paintings and screen prints of the "Augenmädchen" by the Städelschule graduate Kerstin Lichtblau are on display at Offspace Be Poet can be seen.
New discovery by Galerie Greulich: rough, wild, hyper-realistic still lifes by the painter Stella Winter.
