Presence of Düsseldorf and Leipzig
Jan Dörre l After the Dragonflies - 2021 Oil and egg tempera on MDF l 31 x 41 cm. Kerstin Leuenroth Gallery
Graduates of the Academy of Fine Arts (HGB) in Leipzig and the Düsseldorf Art Academy are represented in numerous galleries. The gallery owner Kerstin Leuenroth has built up an extensive portfolio of Leipzig painters over the years. This includes Jan Dörre, who has been represented by the gallery since 2006. He composes familiar objects, birds, and food into enigmatic still lifes. At the same time, porcelain ceramics by Beate Höing are on display. In reference to the Miles Davis song of the same name, the title of the exhibition, "Bye Bye Blackbird," reflects recurring motifs and poetry in both artists' oeuvres.[BC1]
The olfactory installation "NEUWAGEN" by Christian Kölbl can be seen and smelled at Studio Michael Riedel.
The Frankfurt artist Michael Riedelwho maintains his studio in the Bahnhofsviertel and runs the Freitagsküche, has been a professor at the HGB Leipzig since 2017. His former student Christian Kölbl is now presenting an installation on its premises that deals with the olfactory semantics of new cars. It is a high-quality perfume produced and mounted in an installation that evokes the pristine interior of a new car with its flowery, leathery, metallic smell.
