In the organizer's words:
"Christine Fuchs. Nazuna" is the title of the exhibition and quotes a poem about being on the move and looking. Christine Fuchs is interested in the process of painting and the effects and spaces that open up as a result.
With this exhibition, the artist brings together two groups of works: Large-format works, which she calls cloud paintings, and small-format plant paintings. In the exhibition, Fuchs combines these works to create a new spatial structure.
The large formats, usually consisting of several parts, deal with the free formation of form and development resulting from the painting movement. Hundreds of small, predominantly blue circles sit next to each other and form a network of bubbles or pearls on the large canvas, an impressive, organic-looking structure. Hanging next to or against it are small works based on seen forms, real plants. The small-format pictures show thistles and grasses, which assert themselves in their intense colors, enter into a dialogue with the large-format pictures in the exhibition and also connect the exhibition rooms with each other.
Some works, almost all of which were created in 2022-24, were painted by Christine Fuchs especially for the Kunstverein, including the prominent, four-part cloud painting entitled "Time to find a hostel".
