Art Gallery Imhof Fine Arts presents fragile states – a staging where the boundaries between inner feeling and outer form blur. A dialogue about the quiet and the inexpressible emerges, in which painterly openness and sculptural restraint find a common vibration.
At the center is Berckenkamp’s work Composition I (I guess I just feel like). The painting functions as a light-filled field of investigation for emotional states that elude precise naming. Through loose, searching lines, two figures can be sensed, engaged in a gentle, almost hovering interaction. While radiant lemon yellow and soft turquoise form the energetic center, vast white areas lend the work a remarkable lightness. The flowing brushstrokes and vertical paint drips reinforce the impression of a fleeting moment lingering between emergence and dissolution. It is a vibration that unfolds in the space between and reflects the fragility of human sensations beyond words.
This painterly dynamic is flanked by Roland Berger’s sculptures Held in Flow and Drift Within. In Held in Flow, Berger works with a vertically rising form whose rhythmic, organic units recall natural growth processes or a flowing river. The sculpture stands as a silent resonance between gesture, sign, and structure. A deliberate contrast is provided by Drift Within, carved from serpentine, which explores the tension between raw, untouched surfaces and deliberately smoothed, geometric planes.
