Facets of Expression: A Sensual Journey Through Watercolor, Acrylic, and Oil

The opening reception at the senior center at Unteren Tor will open its doors on February 26, 2026, at 7:00 PM. Gisela Groß presents paintings that invite reflection: Color harmonies meet tranquil areas, form rhythms balance between suggestion and clarity. The art experience thrives on the contemplation of works, the impact of space, and an exhibition atmosphere that promotes discovery.

Color Traces and Light: Painting as an Aesthetic Experience

Delicate watercolor glazes, thick acrylic layers, and vibrant oil paints switch their roles. Transparent transitions create depth, gestural placements provide energy. From the dialogue of color and form, image spaces emerge where moods and memories shine through.

Diversity of Motifs and Composition

Silently observed details of nature, floral structures, and abstracted landscapes form a repertoire that oscillates between figuration and abstraction. Compositional tensions arise from contrasts of light and dark, calm and movement, surface and line.

Art Historical Classification and Practice

The works are situated in the tradition of modern painting: watercolor as a medium of light, acrylic as a field of experimentation for layers and textures, oil as a carrier of rich color bodies. Technical mastery connects with a contemporary visual language that allows openness for personal interpretations.

Curating and Communication

The presentation emphasizes serial references, color sequences, and thematic development lines. The tour enables comparative contemplation of works and focuses on the materiality of painting. This creates a vivid introduction to painting technique, image composition, and the poetics of detail.

Conclusion

Visitors can expect a quiet, focused viewing experience: Colors breathe, forms resonate, stories emerge. An evening for art lovers who wish to explore the diversity of painterly expressions. Come by, experience the paintings in person, and let the compositions resonate with you.
