The island of stars we call home

Solo Exhibition of painter Anne Wölk at Casa Cultura

Opening at 15th of June 2024
on view 15th June – 14th July 2024

For the first time, Portugal hosts an exhibition by an award-winning German artist

For the first time in Portugal, renowned German artist Anne Wölk will present
her exhibition „The island of stars we call home“ at Casa de Cultura Jaime Lobo
e Silva, Ericeira, from June 15 to July 14, 2024. Internationally renowned,
Wölk has exhibited in places such as Spain, Great Britain, South Korea and
the United States.

Nature and Technology in Art

With works that blend nature and technology, the exhibition includes series such
as Nebula, Planet Spheres and Extraterrestrial Horizons. Using techniques from
the old masters and digital culture, Anne creates multidisciplinary paintings that
question our relationship with the universe. She explores contrasts between
outer space and human colonizing and scientific activities, using oils, graphite
and acrylics on three-dimensional spheres.

„Although my approach to compositions stems from Romanticism and
Photorealism, I subvert these traditional methods of landscape painting through
conceptual representations of light and fluid color gradients that allude to
digital photographic media that capture popular images of space; my works
depict photographic aberrations, digital information gaps and compression
artifacts caused by the technical limitations of telescopic observations and
mechanical photography,“ she explains.

Urban exploration

One of the series stands out for its urban exploration of abandoned spaces
in Eastern Europe, reflecting the contemporary trend of documenting forgotten
places and their histories. Anne seeks to capture ephemeral nature and
memory, questioning architectural legacy and the essence of time and place.

„Through painting, the viewer can catch a glimpse of the ephemeral nature and
memory of ourselves and our surroundings and preserve them before they are
lost in time and space. The artworks raise the question: What do architectural
legacies convey about society when we let them drift away?
What is the essence of time and place?“ says the artist.

The exhibition is curated by Eunice Mestre & Pedro Ramos.

About the artist

Anne Wölk, born in 1982 in Jena, Germany, is a figurative painter influenced
by contemporary realists Vija Celmins and Russel Crotty. Her paintings, which
predominantly depict the night sky with galaxies, reflect a multicultural fusion of German, Baltic, and American elements, resulting from her intense interaction
with international artists. Internationally recognized, Wölk has won a category
award for painting in the art competition ‚Art Takes Paris‘ in 2013 and
a scholarship award from Stiftung Kunstfonds in 2022. She also took part in the
finalists‘ exhibition of the Art Revolution competition

„A ilha de estrelas a que chamamos casa“,

Exposição Individual da pintora Anne Wölk na Casa Cultura Galeria da Ericeira

Abertura dia 15 de junho, 2024
em exibição de 15 de junho a 14 de julho de 2024

Pela primeira vez, Portugal acolhe uma exposição de uma artista alemã
premiada

Pela primeira vez em Portugal, a conceituada artista alemã Anne Wölk vai
apresentar a sua exposição “The island of stars we call home”
(A ilha de estrelas a que chamamos casa) na Casa de Cultura Jaime Lobo e
Silva, na Ericeira, de 15 de junho a 14 de julho de 2024.
Reconhecida internacionalmente, Wölk já expôs em locais como Espanha,
Grã Bretanha, Coreia do Sul e Estados Unidos.

Natureza e Tecnologia na Arte

Com obras que misturam natureza e tecnologia, a exposição inclui séries como
Nebula (Nebulosa), Planet Spheres (Esferas planetárias) e Extraterrestrial
Horizons (Horizontes Extraterrestres). Utilizando técnicas dos antigos mestres
e da cultura digital, Anne cria pinturas multidisciplinares que questionam a
nossa relação com o universo. Explora os contrastes entre o espaço exterior e
as actividades humanas de colonização e científicas, utilizando óleos, grafite e
acrílicos em esferas tridimensionais.

„Embora a minha abordagem às composições tenha origem no Romantismo e
no Fotorrealismo, subverto estes métodos tradicionais de pintura de paisagens
através de representações conceptuais de luz e gradientes de cor fluidos que
aludem aos meios fotográficos digitais que captam imagens populares do espaço;
as minhas obras retratam aberrações fotográficas, lacunas de informação
digital e artefactos de compressão causados pelas limitações técnicas das
observações telescópicas e da fotografia mecânica“, explica.

Exploração urbana

Uma das séries destaca-se pela sua exploração urbana de espaços abandonados
no Leste Europeu, reflectindo a tendência contemporânea de documentar
lugares esquecidos e as suas histórias. Anne procura captar a natureza efémera
e a memória, questionando o legado arquitetónico e a essência do tempo e
do lugar.

„Através da pintura, o espetador pode vislumbrar a natureza efémera e a memória
de nós próprios e do que nos rodeia e preservá-las antes que se percam
no tempo e no espaço. As obras de arte levantam a questão: O que é que os
legados arquitectónicos transmitem sobre a sociedade quando os deixamos
desaparecer? Qual é a essência do tempo e do lugar?“, diz a artista.
A exposição tem curadoria de Pedro Ramos.

Sobre a artista

Anne Wölk, nascida em 1982 em Jena, Alemanha, é uma pintora figurativa
influenciada pelos realistas contemporâneos Vija Celmins e Russel Crotty. As
suas pinturas, que retratam predominantemente o céu noturno com galáxias,
reflectem uma fusão multicultural de elementos alemães, bálticos, russos e
americanos, resultado da sua intensa interação com artistas dos EUA. Reconhecida
internacionalmente, Wölk ganhou um prêmio de categoria de pintura no
concurso de arte ‚Art Takes Paris‘ em 2013 e uma bolsa de estudos da Stiftung
Kunstfonds em 2022. Participou também na exposição dos finalistas do
concurso Art Revolution em Taipei. Atualmente, vive e trabalha em Berlim.

The university and the Hanseatic city of Greifswald are organizing an exhibition of 250 prints to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Caspar David Friedrich’s birthday. Friedrich was a renowned landscape painter born in Greifswald on September 5, 1774. He was widely recognized for his work during the Romantic era from around 1800 to 1840. To commemorate this milestone, the city of Greifswald has invited artists from all over the country to submit graphic works that relate to Friedrich’s life and work or the questions raised during the Romanticism movement.

The competition is part of the nationwide “Printing Art Day,” and a jury has selected the best 250 works. The top five will receive prizes for their artistic and thematic quality. There will also be an audience prize. The Office for Education, Culture, and Sport of the University and Hanseatic City of Greifswald will curate the exhibition of works, which will be presented in various galleries and institutions in Greifswald, such as Koeppenhaus, St. Spiritus, and PKB Kunstladen, from mid-March 2024 to the end of April or beginning of May.

I am excited to announce my participation in this year’s DD#17: No Strings, All Regrets! Auction and Exhibitio. The event is curated and organized by the Dead Darlings Collective in collaboration with Current Obsession, a Jewelry Festival.
The auction will take place on November 30, 2023, and will be hosted by the Fashion for Good Museum. All works will be on display a few days in advance. Details regarding opening times and the exact time for the start of the auction will be announced soon.

About the Museum:
The Fashion for Good museum is a space where you can learn how your clothes were made and discover game changing innovations shaping the future of fashion. Throughout the building, you can find concrete ways to have a positive impact, commit to taking action and shop sustainable products.

Christmas Show/ Weihnachtsausstellung at Stiftung Starke Löwenpalais Berlin

Opening, Saturday, 4th November 6pm
more info: https://stiftungstarke.de

I am delighted to announce that my artwork “Eagle Nebula” will be featured at the Christmas exhibition hosted by the Starke Foundation this year.

The Löwenpalais, situated in Berlin-Grunewald, is the grand and majestic home of the Starke Art Foundation. The neo-baroque-style villa, adorned with two stone lions on the facade, was named after these magnificent creatures. The architect Bernhard Sehring designed the Lion Palace, and he also created the Theater des Westens and the Delphi-Palast cinema building in Berlin, among other notable projects. The villa was originally built in 1903 for the Imperial Cellar Master Habel, but in 1930, it was transformed into luxurious apartments. Famous artists and scholars resided here until the 1960s, including film star O.W. Fischer, publisher Ernst Rowohlt, conductor Sergiu Celibidache, Horst Buchholz, and American singer Gladys Kuchta.

In 1969, Carl Peter Starke purchased the Löwenpalais and divided the property, building his office on the newly created property. His son, Jörg Starke, established the non-profit art foundation Peter Starke Foundation in December 1988, with the Löwenpalais serving as the foundation’s headquarters. The foundation’s exhibition work began in 1990 with the spectacular exhibition “Status of Sculpture.” In 1991, Jörg Starke brought the Japanese-American artist Yoko Ono to Berlin for an exhibition and started a long-term collaboration with her. The Starke Foundation’s projects are scientifically supported by international curators.

The Starke Art Foundation aims to support young, aspiring artists of all genres by providing them with a stimulating and exclusive atmosphere to concentrate entirely on their artistic work and further develop their individual style. The foundation also supports the creative development of cultural workers and fosters exchange between artists. Today, the Löwenpalais houses studios and apartments for artists, as well as exhibition rooms for the foundation’s activities.

If you wish to contact the Peter Starke Non-Profit Foundation, their address is Koenigsallee 30 – 3214193 Berlin. You can reach them by phone at 030 – 825 76 85, by fax at 030 – 825 87 34, or via email at info@stiftungstarke.deWeb. You can also visit their website at www.stiftungstarke.de.

Art Circle Residence Europe 
www.acr-europe.net

In September 2023, I was fortunate enough to receive a Travel Grant that gave me the opportunity to participate in the Art Circle Residence program in Croatia. During my stay, I lived in a beautiful house that was part of the Art Circle Program and provided me with a peaceful environment to focus on my painting.

For an entire week, I could escape the distractions of everyday life and enjoyed a home away from home. The historic villa was located near the beach and provided a breathtaking panoramic view from a spacious terrace.

Vižinada, a part of Croatia’s natural landscape, has stunningly clear night skies that allowed me to capture the beauty of the summer night sky through my artwork.

As an artist, light is a crucial element in my work. I create a sense of deep space and light by layering transparent colors. I followed my love for painting and my passion for astronomy and science during my stay. I spent my time capturing the beauty of the night sky and stars on the beach of the Mediterranean Sea.

The Vižinada artist-in-residence program provided a workspace and bed & breakfast housing for one week. It was an inspiring experience that allowed me to explore my creativity. I could reconnect with the natural world while enjoying plain-air painting.

Every morning, I used to sit outside with my coffee, paint and contemplate the work I had ahead for the day. I enjoyed delicious meals, swam in the sea, and had many insightful conversations with the people I met during various dinner occasions. After a week of dedicated work time, I left with a clear plan for developing my next work series. I am immensely grateful to Dr. Anna Prinz, President of ACR-Europe, for her unwavering support and dedication to the arts. This is the second time she has invited me to participate in a on-site residency program, which has been instrumental in guiding and enhancing my artistic journey.
