Art Gallery Imhof Fine Arts presents Salon Lumière II – a staging in which contemporary art glows in a vintage-cinema setting and leaves the stage entirely to the quiet tension of colour, form and material.
At the centre is Midnight Bamba by Chef de Mulu. The vibrating yellow-green field, criss-crossed by traces, grids and mask-like shadows, brings together the movements of Tachism, Primitivism and Abstract Expressionism into an independent pictorial organism. Dark grids and the shadowy suggestion of a skull give the work a ritual, nocturnal depth; despite the rough texture, the composition appears deliberately built, rhythmic, almost musical.
The sculptures by Veit Korn intensify this existential atmosphere. Echoes of Egypt combines archaic formal language with contemporary reflection: a head embedded in stone, marked by oxidation, its open mouth like a silent cry – the image of a being between dissolution and endurance, between loneliness, memory and the search for meaning. Hybris III, a travertine skull in a strict geometric frame, evokes the ancient concept of hubris and confronts us with freedom and limitation, ambition and mortality. The carefully worked surface appears timeless, like a relic that bears witness to human fragility as much as to our longing for significance.
