Dirk Braungardt & Claudius Förster
With "Resonanz", the Stadtmuseum Halle is continuing its tradition of presenting contemporary Halle art.
Dirk Braungardt and Claudius Förster combine external perception with inner emotional worlds in their art. Their works speak their own languages and yet they resonate with similar tones.
Braungardt creates collages from found objects from everyday life, which he rearranges. Worn objects are not left to decay, but preserved in their ageing process. For him, this process resembles sorting - once functional objects gain new symbolism and evoke individual associations.
Förster's works move between dark romanticism and fantastic realism. They address man's struggle with nature and at the same time open up a view into an inner world. His delicate ink and isograph drawings in particular depict melancholy, gloomy landscapes, interspersed with technical structures with metaphorical expressiveness.
Braungardt's material collages and Förster's graphic works open up spaces for inner reflection. Their connection is the focus of the exhibition and invites visitors to trace this resonance.
