March 19, 2025
Welcome to spring: Gerlind Hentze will be presenting her artworks at three exhibitions over the next few weeks. The self-taught artist, who also recently completed an art degree at the Academy of Painting in Berlin, explores the totality of human life: the tangible and the mysterious. Hentze explores complex emotions in a nuanced way, focusing on the striving for freedom and security, which are fundamental to human life.
Hentze combines figurative and abstract elements in her works, which both depict the many dimensions of life and allow for individual interpretations. Commenting on her work Transcendence No. 9, which can be seen in the GEDOK Gallery's Traces 2 exhibition, she explains: »Light and shadow embody the complexity of relationships and life decisions. How do we want to deal with each other? What traces do we want to leave in the world? A couple walking carefully through the picture is only hinted at by delicate contours in a soft light, almost as if melting together in harmony. Their devotion to each other radiates hope and solidarity.«
Hentze will first take part in the exhibition for new members of the BBK Brandenburg, the vernissage of which will take place on March 20 in Potsdam. Then, on April 4, Traces 2, a thematic continuation of an exhibition from 2023, will open in Berlin. Past and future ideas come together under the guiding question »How do we want to live?«. What traces do we find, how do they influence our lives and what traces will we leave behind? The third exhibition Spring lets its blue ribbon... by the artists' association KUN:ST International e.V. will be showing works by artists who have joined the association in the last two years from April 5. A wide variety of artistic techniques can be seen at the show in Kempten, including Hentze's relief works, which are being presented to the public for the first time.
