Marina Adams: The Art of Living Slowly

In the organizer's words:

Marina Adams' second solo exhibition at Galerie Thomas Schulte is entitled The Art of Living Slowly - a subtle commentary on the acceleration and disorientation of our digitally influenced present. Adams explores how consciously slowing down can transform the perception of time and space by creating clarity and - comparable to a deep breath - opening up an inner expanse that deepens empathy and emotional resonance.

The exhibition brings together medium and small format paintings and works on paper. In her studio on Long Island, surrounded by nature, Marina Adams has once again devoted herself to the depiction of trees - a motif she has already explored at various points in her career. She says of these works: "I am not interested in mere abstraction. Rather, I try to evoke the energy of a tree, the dynamics of a line, the presence of a space." This transfer of energy connects the representational with the non-representational - because there is vitality in everything.
