Art Gallery Imhof Fine Arts presents Rising Waters – an exhibition in which the movement of water is reflected in painting and sculpture. Both works are dedicated to this theme, bringing rhythm, natural force, and motion into a compelling dialogue.
In The Birds by Chef de Mulu, a network of powerful brushstrokes, structures, and gestural energy unfolds on paper. The pictorial space appears both abstract and narrative: houses, a village, and waves emerge, while the title directs the gaze toward flocks of birds moving across the landscape. Here, Neo-Expressionist intensity meets the spontaneity of Tachisme and the meditative elegance of Japanese ink painting.
Roland Berger’s Resting Wave transforms white marble into the illusion of water in motion. Its gently curved, perfectly smooth form recalls a receding sea wave – a fleeting moment between movement and stillness. Its reduced, meditative presence lends the sculpture a quiet strength, balancing organic flow with artisanal precision.
Together, painting and sculpture open a poetic space in which water appears not only as a natural phenomenon but as a symbol of vitality, transformation, and inner calm.
