THE COLOR CARBON

This exhibit is a collection of 104 carefully selected works representing my last 10 years of creating paintings. Despite the wide range in subject matter, the paintings have the following things in common: vibrant color, striking composition and (of course) lightheartedness.

Paintings: A Selection From The Last 10 Years

This collection explores quiet moments of connection, movement, and inner change.
The artworks focus on transitions — pauses before action, closeness before certainty, and the courage found in staying present.

The rivers secret
There is no such thing as time
It source, eternal

//

An Ode to Nature
Its lands, life, and songs of love
We celebrate thee

//

The eternal song
of joys, sorrows, lives and death
a chorus of aum

//

The river teaches
That time is an illusion
Its flow, eternal

//

Its nature, wisdom
whispering the sound of aum
in light, love and life

//

All you have to do
is listen. . . . .  are you ready?
Repeat after me

//

One of the many
lessons we learn with cameras
is that of patience

//

To be in Nature's
Grandour, gravity and grace
A gift from the Gods

'River Abstracts' is an awe-inspiring collection of photographic artworks by Alexander Rowan, showcasing the magnificent Pjorsa River Region of Southern Iceland

'I wanted my first exhibition to be of a place few people had ever seen or heard; A place where few souls roam, and yet so unbelievably beautiful you couldn't help question whether or not its real. 

The Pjorsa River is that place to me. Like an endless song the river transform in color, form and inspiration. It holds beauty, ineffable, and a wisdom I have silently sipped every moment I spend there. To this day, I have never seen another soul .
 
Time and again I return like a pilgrim to these shores where the river meets the sea. I always find a new river. And I always depart a new me.

Have you also learned
The secret of the river?
There is no such thing as time.

All works are Limited and Signed. Editions of 100 + (1) Original APs.

A day that will go written down in history, a women when women came together to demand their abusers be held accountable via the release of the Epstein files.

The cold is absolute, pressing against perception with weight. Colour takes on a fragile, spectral quality, light slows, and forms hover between presence and disappearance. Within this stillness, a gravity bends thought and feeling. The chill cannot be resisted; it moves through us as easily as through the world, touching the landscape and the mind alike, hinting at the sharpness of emotion, the quiet of distance, and the power of winter itself.

To dwell in the cold is to feel its currents, to witness the ordinary transformed into something luminous, strange, and profoundly alive. It is a reminder that cold is everywhere, in frost, in light, in muted hues, and in the spaces within ourselves.

Color Discipline zeigt Malerei von Viola Florschuetz ART als konsequente Farbwelten: Jedes Werk entsteht in einem dominanten Ton, gebaut über Tonwerte, Kanten und einen klaren Fokuspunkt. Reduktion wird zur Präsenz – ikonische Motive treffen auf rhythmische Texturfelder. Die Ausstellung ist bereits geöffnet und wächst fortlaufend; weitere Werke ergänzen die Serie.

Hinweis: Die Werke sind in der virtuellen Ausstellung teils vergrößert dargestellt. Maßangaben in den Werktexten beziehen sich auf die Originale.

Color Discipline presents Viola Florschuetz ART’s paintings as disciplined color worlds: each piece is driven by one dominant hue, shaped through values, edges, and one clear focal point. Reduction becomes presence—iconic motifs meet rhythmic textured fields. The show is open and will keep expanding; more works will be added.

Note: Works may appear enlarged in the virtual exhibition. All dimensions in the labels refer to the original artworks.

„…und es gab ihn tatsächlich, den Winter in Stuttgart! Wie Fotos des 1923 gegründeten Bildarchivs der Württembergischen Bildstelle – unserer Vorgängerinstitution – belegen, lag die Landeshauptstadt jahrzehntelang regelmäßig, Winter für Winter, unter einer dicken Schneedecke.
Diese kleine Ausstellung lädt zu einem historischen Rundgang durch mehrere Jahrzehnte ein und zeigt vertraute Motive im winterlichen Gewand. Ohne feste Route oder thematische Klammer wurden die Bilder allein wegen ihrer Atmosphäre und ihres Motivs ausgewählt.
Entstanden ist so ein kurzer Spaziergang durch die schönsten verschneiten Ecken der Stadt: ein stiller, leicht nostalgischer Blick zurück in vergangene Zeiten.
In der Ausstellung sind Bilder aus dem 20. Jahrhundert von Otto Kutter, Hans Schwenkel, Robert Bothner, Dieter Jaeger, Albrecht Brugger und Sven Grenzemann zu sehen.

Step into the quiet glow of Aotearoa’s South Island, where light moves slowly and the landscape breathes in vivid hues from the glow of twilight, to the cool blue of snowcapped mountains. 

The Wānaka Collection brings together my most intimate moments from my trip there in May 2024. Sunrises from Roys Peak, the stillness of That Wānaka Tree, and the soft, fleeting warmth that settles over the lake at day’s edge.

The series conveys solitude, atmosphere, and the natural wonders of Wānaka. These scenes are captured in the rare minutes when the world falls silent and light reveals its finest subtleties. Every print is self-crafted with museum-grade materials.

This exhibition is an invitation to linger, to explore the tenderness of dawn, the poetry of shadow and glow, and the timeless calm of Wānaka’s alpine beauty.

Winter Solastalgia brings together nine oil paintings shaped by memory, loss, and changing seasons. The works arise from a personal dialogue between the winters of my childhood in Eastern Poland and the winters of today in Western Europe. I look back with deep longing to landscapes once buried under abundant snow, a world defined by silence, cold, and joy. These memories now stand in sharp contrast to the increasingly scarce white winters in the Netherlands.

The paintings carry a sense of painful absence, a mourning for what has slipped away, and an awareness of environmental change driven by human intervention. Moving between dream and reality, the scenes are neither purely nostalgic nor documentary. Instead, they hover in an in-between space where recollection, imagination, and present-day observation intertwine. Winter Solastalgia is both a personal elegy and a quiet reflection on a climate that no longer holds still.

Dreams in Abstract Art is a virtual exhibition by Del Bosque, presenting a carefully selected series of his latest works. Inspired by Miró, Picasso, and Manrique, Del Bosque transforms these influences into a unique, personal universe.

The vibrant colors, flowing lines, and playful symbolism greet you with a positive, energetic vibe. Each work is a one-of-a-kind creation in which imagination and emotion come together—a dream journey through abstraction, color, and movement.

Dreams in abstract art

Studies of nature begin with attention. They start as moments of looking and wondering. They grow through patient observation and repeated attempts to understand a form, a pattern, or a movement. Each study becomes a record of curiosity made visible. In this collection the idea of study expands beyond direct observation. It becomes a way of feeling through abstract language. These works examine not only what the eye perceives but also what the mind continues to reflect upon long after the first encounter.

Let this art invite you to join in that search, to see each piece as both question and discovery, and to experience what emerges from sustained attention to the natural world.

Sueños urbanos es un recorrido por lugares que me emocionan fruto de mis viajes por diferentes ciudades que he tenido la oportunidad de conocer y disfrutar paseando por sus calles.

SUEÑOS URBANOS

Seeing Through – Retold is not a repetition of an earlier exhibition, but a rereading. What once lived on the physical walls of the gallery returns here in a new constellation: more compact, quieter, and with greater space for perception. The virtual environment does not function as a replacement for the physical gallery, but as an alternative way of looking — slowed down, layered, and free from fixed perspectives.

In this exhibition, the surface takes center stage. Not as an endpoint, but as an entry point. The works move between skin and landscape, between proximity and distance. Structures that evoke skin, fibers, or scar tissue may gradually shift into layers of earth, horizons, or silent landscapes. What becomes visible is not a fixed image, but a field of tension: between revealing and concealing, between stillness and presence.

The structure of Seeing Through – Retold follows an inner movement. From the bodily and tactile toward the open landscape, through zones of transformat
